The ERJ is not a tin can. You guys are full of beans to say things like that. Any airplane that can hit the ground at seven times the design load limit and taxi off the runway without collapsing the gear is not a tin can. I don't think any CRJ could do that.
The CRJ has ZERO leg room in back. ZERO. The only way you could possibly be comfortable in the back of a CRJ is if you are 4 feet tall. At least in the ERJ you have a 75% chance (actually higher) of getting an aisle seat and you definitely have more room ahead of you if you are stuck by the righthand window.
FWIW, the CRJ-700 is simply a stretched CRJ. No leg room, just as noisy, and completely/hoplessly outclassed by the ERJ-170/190.
As for reliability, I guess you're saying the CRJ has a 99%+ dispatch rate. That's the only way it can beat the ERJ. And considering that two hour "maintenance" delay on ASA last week, I guess the CRJ may have better reliability, but I bet its on time performance sucks.
