Embraer E-190AR or Embraer E-195AR.

During the previous TMT game world, the E190AR/E195AR's made less profit than my other E-Jets. I won't advise you to add these two variants if you don't operate a fleet of other E-Jets, because the lower income+ commonality costs can kill your airline ;)

Perhaps the Boeing 717-200 then?

I wouldt fly it at all, you lose to much money and can't use the plane enough to turn a profit. Just not economical to fly a 100 seater 2300 miles. Also I believe the 717 can't go 2300.

Pretty sure it can, or close to 2300 at least.

Think there is a HGW version which can fly up to 2500NM.

Id not add another class just for this route.  Only add if you absolutely need to.  Id rather fly a 736 with comfortable seating versus add another fleet

I do this in last modern world :P, 736 for thin routes within 3200nm. Even the fuel price is above 800 I can still make a little profit (but I have tons of 737NG to share the cost)
