Altitude capability vs Climb Speed - CRJ900

Dear all,

I have a question regarding the altitude capability of the CRJ900 vs the climb speed.
There are Tables in the QRH regarding this.

My question is:
Why can you climb HIGHER for the same given weight with a climb speed of .77 than .74?

I would like to think that it would be possible to get higher with a slower climb-speed?

If some one could give me an informative answer, in regards to aerodynamics and performance-wise how it can be like this?
