Why do most people like EMB120 over the RJ's? I have never flown a 120 because I always try to avoid them. I am on a ERJ 145 in a few weeks and hope that is not too bad.

I have a large laptop case and I know it wont fit in the overhead so I recently purchased a padded sleeve for it at Office Depot. I will check the briefcase at the plane and just bring the laptop on the plane.
