I agree with donpizmeov,
Actually the NG is easier to fly than the q400 (especially with one engine out). Except energy management and high altitude high speed flight which are a matter of adaptation, not handling. FMS, FMA are almost the same both are Cat C approach (with usually about 10-20 kts difference) both are glass cockpit.
In my opinion a normal guy with >1000 h on q400 or atr 72 600 shouldn't have any problem to fly any jet aircraft.
