I've been utilizing only 1/4 of my tent space (2 plants) because I currently have a "2,000 watt" LED. I'm committed to spending around $400 to upgrade my lighting with hopes of also lowering my electricity bill. What's the best bang for my buck for my price point?

All that amazon stuff is mostly crap. 600w HPS is your best bet to keep the budget at $400. Decent LED is going to cost a good bit more than that.

I'm not tied to LEDs, but bulbs, ballasts and whatever else I would need need to be $400 or less.

I like the link you supplied, is the QB304 good? The other ones aren't available.
I only see the 288 v2 available and that is better than the 304.
In a 4x4 I would get 2 of these kits:

or one 600kit

As you can see quality leds are pricey.
HPS or CMH are more budget friendly
