Well that’s certainly no bueno. How about fume events? Have they happened on the Canabus? I can’t imagine it’d be worse than the 320 family especially the V2500 motors.

I have flown the Embraer, The 320 and 220.

320 has dual cue flight directors vs the FPV and purple bat on the 220
320 FMS is far easier and faster to program. Also, if do something in the wrong order on the 220 it may delete previously entered information. The 220 has to have data entered in a very specific way.
The Electronic checklist is AWESOME on the 220 This has the ability to trap and eliminate human errors when running checklists.
Just about all the switches and all the CB's are monitored by the aircraft in the 220.
Preflight and cockpit prep is very easy on the 220.
Moving map is way better on the 220. Radar is nice too. Also has options to call up Nexrad radar too on the displays
CPDLC is easier on the 220
Radio tuning the 220 is nice as well as the placement. You can tune on the glareshield for through the FMS
AC is better on the 220. The APU can freeze out
220 has better gasper vent placement
Can't open the cockpit windows on the 220, so you can't get fresh air on a turn if you wanted some
320 seats are better. that are 4 way power seats with a great recline. The 220 only has power height and everything else is manual. The 220 also has very limited recline
the 3-2 seating on the 220 is nice in the back.
Auto fuel transfers are nice on the 220
Auto Throttles do move on the 220 but if you bump them they will kick off. You cannot grab and hold them like you can on the 190. The 320's autothrust seems a bit better. I also like GS Mini on the 320 for approaches too.
220 Can do LPV approaches
220 Climbs pretty good compared to the 320
220 has better wipers and intermittent too
When hand flying you have to use the trim switch to move a trim bug. The computer then decides how much to move the horizontal. That takes some getting used to.
Engine starts take forever on both the 220 and 320 NEO's.
The tiller feels smoother on the 220
Electric brakes work well on the 220. No brake fans on the 220

In my personal opinion it comes down to personal preference on which a pilot would favor. The 220 is probably easier to learn for a pilot with an Embraer 170/175/190/195 background than once coming off the 320. As long as you don't try to make it an airbus you will be find.
