Yeah I jumped in a new SKW 700 yesterday and looked at things a lot more closely than the aforementioned jumpseat session because of this thread. The ergonomics are better in the ERJ, but the Collins line up is pretty tough to beat. Cruise was very smooth without any shuffle at all, and the aural cues aren't as annoying as the 145. I like the automation in the ERJ's systems but I guess its just a matter of hitting the switch when the ice detector goes off etc. The EP's are lighter on the controls, but underpowered. The 700 is a rocket.
