Profiting off of media buys is a full time job. You're going to have to work to earn those 200 leads. As this is your first time buying on the site you'll have to test several different banner styles, a lot of sites click differently and the users have different content preferences depending on what search terms they rank for.
For example one tube I have bought from has a disproportionate amount of users who like ebony content, so black girls on the dating banners tend to click higher even without any niche targeting.
$400/week is not going to be a lot of volume to test this either. The difference between loss and break even will come down to a handful of leads so you may not even learn anything at the end of your test.
I wouldn't bat an eye at any test under $1k, spend the money see how you do, scale and optimize if it's close to break even, move on if it's not.
If you can't stomach the idea of throwing these guys the $850 just "to see how it goes", media buying is not for you.
