400 is a pretty hard distance to fit into a day. Having done early and late starts, I dislike the early starts most because I don't sleep the night before when I have to get up at silly o'clock. And I'd rather do the night riding earlier on in the ride and finish in daylight.
Years ago, when I was a bit quicker, I finished a couple of early start 400s in quick time. Then they are great as you get to bed and have a full day the next day, but I couldn't do that now.
I quite enjoy the midnight, or 9pm, starts. I'm actually a bit unsure about the 10am start tomorrow as it is a new one for me and it kind of falls between the two stools so not sure how it will go.
