Well, the 400/4 is a DO and it's still quite a bit bigger - 100mm versus 87.5mm of aperture. 87.5mm is about half way between 71.4mm and 100mm. And, remember, I said $3k-ish, which the 400/4 DO is most certainly NOT!

The 100-400L II is 400mm and f/5.6, and it's $2,300.  The 400/4DO II is $6,900.  I still think there's room between them for something like a 350/4 (or 500/5.6) in the $3,500 range.
