The 200 cockpit maybe an inch wider but you feel caved in because of the small windows. The erj has bigger windows and better seats(when new) as well as the cockpit being deeper in length, you can recline near flat. The ERJ has the fadec which the 200 does not, more automated. Also it can climb to its service ceiling fully loaded in one try.
