Better fuel economy on short sectors, the Q400's are almost as fast as a CRJ on those same sector lengths, better economics due to those two reasons as well (you need to fill less seats on the Q to break even versus the RJ).
If you were flying AC Express Dash's this summer chances are you were on the older model -100 or -300. The Q400 is leaps and bounds above those ones.
