Very interesting. Seems like that works much better as the power demand per house in the EU is lower, and the higher voltage gives you a bit more leeway. Frankly, I would be concerned about voltage drop for the far houses... even 400V is going to have some pretty beefy voltage drop under load unless the conductors are enormous.
