EMB 170 and up?

Does anyone know if CO - or ExpressJet would consider replacing a portion of the ERJs with the EMBs (e.g. 170) when the time comes? I am still vague on the newer EMBs but if they are larger and can support F/C then it seems everyone can win. CO operates jets that can turn a profit easier than a mainline and the customer can fly in a larger and more comfortable plane. While I don’t think they would slap one of these guys down on a 1hr route it would be nice on a longer one. (IAH-YYZ)
