2nd this comment. My feeling is that it's not a major consideration, even in a high crosswind.

Night and day with the 200. Can't really compare the two. As for the 700 comparison, I don't have any experience with the 700, so take me with a grain of salt, but the E170 has the best weight/thrust ratio of the entire E-jet family. With that said, the E190, by virtue of it's wing, has the best performance at altitude. In other words, the E-jet family has more thrust than CRJ, but without comparing wings, it's a bit of a moot point.
