As a summary - the ERJ is fast but can't take everybody and their bags. The CRJ is slow but it can get everybody and their crap on board.
What? Who said the CRJ is slow? Who gives a crap anyway?
So with no alternate you may well find that the ERJ is still weight limited, I don't think I've ever seen a CRJ weight limited with no alternate (yes, I'm sure it happens, now regale us with your tails of being weight limited doing SLC-ATL in a 200).
When CHQ took over CVG-TOL, my commute became difficult. CMR had been doing it with a 40 or a 50 seat CRJ (the frequency was more too, but Delta can be blamed for that), then CHQ put an EMB-135. I was kicked off the jumpseat a handful of times because it was zero fuel weight limited. The crews always tried to help, but it didn't always work. One thing I can say for certain is the jumpseat on the ERJ is far more comfortable than the chairs in the terminal in CVG.
