Qlink must be smiling from ear to ear.
The ATR has 1 tonne less payload than a Q400.
Carries 1 tonne less fuel at max payload.
And does all this at a conservative 60 knots slower.
I can see some fun times ahead in the pilot briefing room if they are supposed to take over from the E170.
Edited to replace "usefull load" with "payload"
