Magic plays a much more prominent (overt) role in Forgotten Realms. I like them both... and I think F.R. draws on Middle Earth for some of it's inspiration... even going so far as to steal a character pretty darn close to straight out of the books (Gandalf... I mean Elminster).
F.R. isn't the only series to know a good thing when it sees it though. I've seen Gandalf like sorcerers all over the literary world.
