400 meters of fiber and two transceivers would cost about $700 here. About the same cost as a couple of cheap 802.11 APs (many of which can be configured as bridges). I use Addrons (same as the SMC) with panel antennas and no amplifier over 1km distances
If I had to do this on absolute minimum cash, I would try coax. I had one thinnet run of about 200 meters which worked (the published limit is 185 meters. Repeaters are available.
