Low Cost 400G??

Is it paradoxical to wonder what low-cost full table (or close to it) 400G options there are? An earlier thread looks 
like the Arista 7280QR-C36 is "almost" there for 100G at a reasonable $3k, but a quick look at 400G-capable goes up, 
well, 4x in price, though one does get fully into DFZ capable devices then.

It seems like anything with more than low 6 digit route capability goes into full-scale multi-million capability, which 
is great technically, but not so great financially.
