Default Good Stepping Stone to the Regionals?

Happy Thanksgiving folks,
I just applied to the EMB-135 FO slot. I'm currently in the 700s TT and reasonably happily employed at an ASEL piston operator. I would be taking an $11k/year pay cut to leave my job for Contour, but the problem with my work is we barely fly at all; something like 20-30 hours per month. I'm taking most of my extra pay to spend it on split time in Cessna 152s just to get 60-70 hours per month of time built. My goal is airlines before Christmas of '22, hopefully 9E. I love the idea of turbine time and the idea of signing a 12 month contract doesn't really phase me so long as I am able to get the remaining ~750 hours before that contract ends.

Do you think Contour would be able to get that amount of time built or am I better off staying put where I am?
