I believe it's the same airframe with a corporate pax configuration.

1-I think the the legacy has more fuel tanks or a different arrangement.

2-Rich people fly in the legacy, regular coach travelers in the 135.

systems and cockpitwise they should ne very similar...maybe one has dual fms or so.

I don't fly either, however I do have a current copy of Business & Commercial Aviation in front of me and I'll share the differences as displayed in their Purchase Planning Supplement.
For starters the ERJ 135LR cost $18,000,000 and the Corporate version is the EMB-135BJ or Legacy 600 cost $25,408,000. They both have the same external dimensions and the first difference I come across is the engines. Believe it or not the Legacy has the same engine but more thrust by about 500# per side. The Legacy also has a higher Max ramp weight;
49,758 vs 44,312. The airline stats use different verbage than the corporate aircraft so bear with me. It looks as though the legacy has a celing of 410 vs 370 for the EMJ 135. Mmo is also slightly higher for the Legacy at .80 vs .78. The fuel is the big difference with the Legacy having 18,170# vs 11,327#.
That's about all I can muster, hope that helps....

The cabin also has substantially more insulation and other mods to lower the noise level inside. The engines I believe are those of the 145s with winglets, I think the 145XLR. That version, like the Legacy, has an Mmo of .80 and higher ceiling, as has been stated, as compared to an Mmo of .78 of the 135 and ceiling of FL370.

Essentially those are all the differences. And you are correct, it has a 135 body with 145 engines. New price also went up 1.5 million for 2008 and is expected to rise another 1.0-1.5 million for 2009 orders.

The flight deck personnel on the Legacy generally has considerably more experience and makes significantly more money than their commuter airline cousins.

(Sorry... had to be done)

Cosmetically, a custom interior cost a lot more then the standard interior configuration. So, that will play a big roll in the price difference as well.

On a side note, for any or all of the airplane geeks out there...(which is a dumb statement to make on this site)...there is a pretty good special on the Discovery Channel about custom aircraft interiors. It's a pretty sweet deal...
