Depends? Do you want to be able to hear after a few years of flying? There's a reason why the call the ERJ the "WSCOD"...

Friends don't let friends fly the ERJ.

LOUD is not the word for it...Try ORD-MKE at 10K and 320KIAS...Even w/David Clark's it's deafening. Up at altitude it isn't terrible, but you still need a damn good headset!

And with that, the ERJ flies like a real airplane, as opposed to the -200 of course ;-)

I've never flown the ERJ, but the CRJ is fun to fly if you know exactly how far you can take it. (That said, I enjoy flying a straight wing slowtation a lot more from a "flying" standpoint).

As for the "real" aircraft arguement- any aircraft with three seats across and bike handlebars...

Oh- and the CRJ has a better nickname than the ERJ:

Barbie Jet vs. Whistling ******can of Death.

I'll take the Barbie Jet for $200 Alex.

Which fat chick do you want? Either way, when you wake up in the morning, it's still a RJ.

From: is down range clear?

When it comes to the 700 vs the the 170, I heard that the 170 takes the cake and of course the 190 tosses the 900 to the curb. But I haven't been on either of the EMBs so I can't personally speak from experience. The 170s and the 190s do look like baby 73s though. Kind of neat really that EMB took another step into making a "new" aircraft rather than the Canadian route in to just taking it to a limousine chop shop to add a few more seats.
