As for them being XR’s rather than LR’s.... Joe Public couldn’t care less since most, if not at all of them, cannot tell the difference between the two.
Yea, my preference for the XR is strictly from a selfish pilot perspective. Agree no discernable difference for pax. But I've spent a fair amount of time on 50 seaters as a passenger in my previous life and I would place the 145 way above the CRJ200 from a pax comfort perspective. Maybe it's just that I prefer window seats and the -200 has the well-known infringement on shoulder room that was fixed by lowering the seats on the -700/900. I always loved the single seat side of the 145.
