A 2 leg commute so you can fly the 175? That's craziness! I've been told GRR to ORD is kinda tough. And I know ORD to DFW is really tough. God luck. If I were you I'd just take ORD and be much happier.

To wit, what is it about it that makes you sacrifice other quality of life issues just to fly it ? What will you do if you're subsequently displaced out of it ? What benefits do you think it will bring you in how it looks on a resume to other carriers ?
Although I understand many have different reasons, what are some of yours ?

Just curious, but I have a couple of questions about what is motivating some to pronounce their love affair with the E-175.

Plus 13 flights a day to ORD vs only 3 a day to DFW.

While I can't say I would chose an airline or a 2 leg commute for a specific aircraft; I can understand those that choose to do so. We are all trying to make our resume look better for the next job, whatever that may be. I think most pilots would agree that an Airbus type would make you more competitive, and of course southwest used to require the 737 type to even be considered. It is possible that the legacies would be more interested in someone with a 170/5 type over a 145 type. Although that is pretty unlikely it is a fact that most of the overseas jobs want a pilot with experience either in a certain type, sometimes a 170/5 or in an aircraft over a certain weight. The 145 and crj200 are both too small to qualify.
So while it may not be the best career decision to defer seniority or qol for a certain type, there is a remote possibility that it could make a difference in some certain circumstances.

It's just my opinion, but I think the philosophy you bring up here would be rationalizing the irrational curb appeal of a desirable aircraft that essentially offers nothing more then the curb appeal aspects themselves. I suppose if your primary target is a far East job in an E-190, maybe, but anything U.S. wise, an RJ is an RJ is an RJ.
