Highly unlikely, they have only added a single screen. That screen will probably show information that is already on other screens, but now in a thinned out version. Same as the 5 screen display in the 737-800, some companies have all 5 screens displaying info and some only us 4 screens for the same info. The company that I work for had the 4 screen display and we would use the 5th screen as a spare if one of the others went down as they are all plug and play. In the last year we went to a 5 screen display. It involved a couple of cable jumpers and nothing more. It has no effect on sim time or new rating, just an instruction letter on the new function of the new screen for the pilots to read. As it is a lower centre screen it will not display anything of huge importance. The basic "T" still applies to cockpit display regardless of the display media. For example (again) the 737-800 it shows control surface deflection.......hardly earth shattering importance

CS100 was rolled out yesterday.
It was relatively unfinished compared to other recent rollouts - but then again, 787 was fake. Perhaps there shall be another rollout when CS100 is more complete. Bombardier claims to be on schedule for maiden flight in June 2013.
The specifications have been changed a bit more:
CS100:
Cabin length stretched from 22,7 m to 23,7 m. Outer length unchanged at 34,9 m
Cabin aisle height lowered from 2,13 m to 2,11 m. Centerline width unchanged at 328 cm
Floor area increased from 70 to 72 square m
Slight MTOW bump, from 58 151 kg to 58 513 kg.
A "Base" version added, with the lower MTOW of 52 617 kg
Range at 110 passengers at 102 kg each unchanged at 5463 km.
The "Base" version, with the same payload, has range of 2778 km
The takeoff distance, despite increased MTOW, is decreased from 1509 m to 1463 m
The "Base" version manages takeoff in 1219 m, at SL, ISA.
