Yeah, the 100s are the ones with the A engines. At least according to this: http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=125

Most of the 100s have been retrofitted to be 200s with the older A engines. There's a couple differences between the 100 and 200, engines aren't necessarily it. 51K and 53K was the biggest difference between the 2. But alas, all of the 51Ks and been retro-ed to 53K

It says the 51K airplanes are are the ER's and the 53K airplanes are the LR's. I'm also looking at airfleets.net and apparently there are so many more variations than I thought existed so I give up. I do find it interesting that Comair's average fleet age is 8.5 years! Skywest (Just for comparison!) is 4.4 years. I need to stop surfing the internet now, it's becoming bad for my brain.
by the way what were originally talking about?
