Not sure why you would move laterally from big four to regional. I would punch for senior manager

Don't do lateral move. Go for SM as above poster noted.

Why do want to go to regional firm? What does the title matter in your overall objective for the move? Could the manager at regional be the last stop before principal/partner?

Depends. Are you wanting to leave because you don't have great relationships with partners and senior managers at your firm? Switching might help you. Make sure you know what you are getting in to. Talk with future prospective employers A LOT. Ask lots of questions. Request additional discussions.
