Well, while we're stating the obvious, they have heavier tires, larger fuel tanks, more seats, and more powerful engines.
My point was that the 700 & 900 weren't affected by the AD more due to the better flight director, not the slats. That comes from our program manager, who got it from Bombardier. I do concede the fact that they are related though.
