The Ejet is broke less, fewer MELs, less waiting for maintenance.
The Ejet is more automated, like Airbus and Boeing aircraft. This can be more challenging if technology challenged. But, the automation helps with fatigue. I believe it helps prepare one for moving on to the majors.
The joke among mx tech is the 175 should be called 185, because you'll end up turning 185° to return to the airport. The 175 if you look at it too hard, it'll break, so look down when near it
