At 400 it surely isn't worth it for the payout. For that amount of Donuts you can probably get 5 or even more premium characters that will earn at 5*150% = 750%. Compared to the 200% you get from Patches and Poor Violet this is way better. Some characters you should be looking into (if you don't own them already) are:
 * Hans Moleman
 * French Waiter
 * Dr. Nick
 * The Rich Texan
 * Arnie Pye
 * Sherri and Terri
 * Kearney
 * Shauna

All except for Sherri and Terri are below 100 Donuts and will have 150% payout. Sherri and Terri are priced at 150, but also earn at 300% rate, so technically each one of them costs 75.

If you want them because you like the characters, then you'll have to decide if they are worth the 400 Donuts to you personally.

Another thing you should consider is that they might come back at some point in the future. If they do they will surely be a lot cheaper than the price that is offered to you right now.

And a final thing to consider so that you don't spend Donuts on nothing: If you haven't unlocked the Virgil's Cabin the price shown will most likely only be the amount of Donuts you need to spend to get the Virgil's Cabin itself. Afterwards you will need to use another few hundred Donuts to actually get the final prize. If you tell me the exact amount of Hats you collected, I will be able to tell you for sure.
