You're out of $400 of liquidity (until the issuer provisionally credits your account, which they are required for credit and debit alike) either way.

The only difference is lost interest payments for these ~5 business days (which the issuer might even have to reimburse as well; I'm not too sure about that though).

Few people with decent credit have a card that has a credit limit that comes anywhere near their monthly spending requirements.
