It's a lot more work for the money. If you're senior enough to upgrade on the Bro, you're senior enough to hold a good line as an RJ FO and adjust your schedule to make up most or all of the pay difference...and still have better QOL.
Don't do it for the money, not worth it. TPIC, sure and it will make you a better pilot.
