The extended-range version adds winglets and some structural reinforcement for longer sectors, but the cabin itself is essentially identical to the standard -900. Passengers rarely notice the difference; the distinction matters more to the airline's route planning than to anyone sitting in the cabin.
Yes — the two-two configuration with no middle seat and direct aisle access is well-suited to regional sectors. It's a recliner rather than a flat bed, but for daytime flying of this length the extra space and service quality make it a reasonable upgrade.
Window seats are the better sleep position on longer sectors and keep you away from aisle traffic; aisle seats give you flexibility to stand and stretch, which some passengers prioritise on a three-hour flight. Neither is wrong — it comes down to how you use the time.
