The crj200 is a 53k lb airplane. The large-cabin competition referenced is around twice that. I doubt there’s much design overlap between a 50,000 lb plane that will do 7-100 mile legs a day and a 100,000lb one designed to do 7,100 miles at 0.9
Different wing, different pressurization, different systems.
