Unless one is flying for a VERY crappy charter operator that pays VERY badly, by the time one would get 1500 TPIC flying 91/135 (except maybe doing single-engine tprops like Vans or PC12s) I don't see much career upside for going to a regional...and a lot of earnings downside.
With that said, I personally know a few who have gone this route because they wanted to check the 121 box on any application they might fill out and were happy with their decision.
