Not according to wiki.Not only is it easier to win, with the Champions League deadbeats excluded from joining the party in the knockouts, the additional reward for doing so has made it a great deal more appealing. Not just some of grandma’s best silver to put in the cupboard for the winner; a place in the following season’s European Cup, too.

Is the bit about no CL dropouts true?!?! If so, it def puts an added incentive and one less round although I can't see UEFA giving the winners a CL spot and deny CL group stages failures an extra chance at the same time.
