Absolutely. Planes with rear-mounted engines are fantastic if you are sitting up front (MD80 and MD 90 are similar to the 717 in this regard). It can feel like you're gliding!

The CRJ is a bit too short to get the full effect, but the longer variants are definitely quieter up front than at the back.
