Yes, Embraer's offerings are more comparable to Bombardier's C-series (now Airbus' 220 series).

I fly the 220 regularly on routes within Europe and it is rapidly becoming my favorite plane for short hops (< 2500 km). It doesn't seem to be as easily perturbed as older planes, nice cabin, very quick turnarounds so rarely issues with delayed flights due to slow turnaround. This matters a lot because once you miss your departure slot on many airports in Europe it tends to get a lot worse right away, not just a few minutes.
