This is true, I’ve seen an average difference of around 400-500 PPH Total between the two with the CR being much more efficient. FWIT, I have a friend who is flying the E-170. Although the CRJ is pretty well stretched to its max with the CR1000, the E-series has the ability to be stretched well beyond 120 Pax; but lets all hope that mainline continues to take delivery of all a/c near this range.

True as well, there is no comparison; the E-170/5 is wider therefore providing a larger cabin with wider seats, deeper overhead bins and more headroom. But with $100/brl oil, the CR7/9's making more money for their partners than the E-170's & 175's are.
