I'd say the grand estimates are about right. By the time you stock it, etc. Of course a lot less if you already have another tank as lots of the maintenance equipment and such that you'll need you'd already have.
I've probably got a grand tied up in equipment on mine, including substrate and live rock but I don't know how much in coral as I used frags off my main system to stock it.
