Do 600 ... 400 will be tiny. The seat is an extra bit that didn't come with the bike when I got it, same with the outer and cover.
Another weight reference: Normally I do Norton Summit at sweet spot in about 20 mins, with the Douze it took me 28 ... I doubt I would have made it up there on a Bakfiets.
The other thing I forgot to mention is the internal hub gears ... I don't think I'd get them again. They might be good for people that don't really put torque through, but I have had issues with slow/crunchy shifts etc, and am not smart enough to service an Alfine hub.
A 1x setup with an mtb derailleur would be a better and lighter choice I think.

Amazing! I was looking at 400 version; because compact, couldn't find any child seat options ..
