400mm f/4 DO II vs 500mm f/5.6 PF

Talk of a new 400mm Z PF has me wondering whether I bought the right lens. Now that the R7 is out, it's a little academic for me personally -- still, there is a huge price difference between these two lenses which fit into otherwise similar niches. How to account for the extra $3300 one needs to buy the DO at MSRP? And do you believe the rumor that Nikon's f/4.5 will weigh only 1250g? Has Nikon simply surpassed Canon in this tiny market segment?
