-At least out of FAT, unless you fly on that one flight to DEN on the CR7, there is no elite boarding called out anymore. US and QX offer that consistently.
-full beverage service is offered on all flights regardless of length. BLI-SEA (35-45 min flight) ELP-PHX (45 min. flight). The flights from LAX-FAT rarely offer bev service on the rj's even though it is about the same length.
-Snacks are always offered for sale in E. You can't find that on any UX flight in E.
-On US's CR900's, the seats were extremely comfortable, particularly the nice cushy headrest.
-My last flight the rj200 probably had an APU that was out (since it was a gate start plus cross bleed on the tarmac). The pilot on taxi actually ran the engines up a bit in order to get more airflow through the stuffy cabin ^. This would never ever happen on a UX rj.

Since there is only one flight a day from FAT with E+, there are clearly more comfortable options than UX when you are doomed to RJ routes.
