Just curious: since the SH* series is meant for regional flights, do they retain the same range as the SM* series A350s? I would imagine that to lower landing costs, the engines are derated etc. Which might impact the range, if there isn't a long enough runway.
Thinking about this because i'm wondering whether the delivery flight is nonstop or truncated like the 787-10s.

It is structurally identical to the standard A350-900, but its Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines will be derated to 75,000lb thrust. Its maximum take-off weight (MTOW) will be limited to 250 tonnes, which compares to 268 tons for the standard A350-900. Operators will be able to revert to the full 268 tonne MTOW for an additional fee.

I believe they're 275T versions.

According to this CAPA analysis:

In mid Jul-2018 Philippine Airlines (PAL) also took delivery of an A350 with the aerodynamic improvement package and the 280 tonne MTOW. PAL initially ordered six A350-900s with an enhanced MTOW of 278 tonnes in 2016, and can benefit from the improvement package as it operates ultra long range routes.
