Other than that, Jurina has a sort of "Acchan slayer" feel to her () which would fit Chieri's character pretty well IMO.
As far as her character/attitude is concerned, to postulate Chieri as a possible future Jurina (focused more on "serious business" performance aspects of idol work) rather than Yuko (who's carefree and armed with a sense of humor and showmanship), that makes a lot of sense.

IRL, in 2008 the 10th released AKB single was supposed to have Acchan on the cover, but instead it had Jurina (then aged 11), which sparked a fan debate between the merits of the two girls: one with a homely, down-to-earth attitude and charisma, and another who was fast becoming known as an powerfully athletic upstart.

(for reference, look for the "Until the Flower Bloom" video documentary on Maeda.)
