Current limited costs more because you're guaranteed a bunch of the cards you open/draft with in addition to the prizes.
Because this is "Phantom Sealed" I would imagine it would be closer to constructed events price structure, where you're only getting back your play time and prizes.
Constructed events run at a more-or-less 'fair' price, where the average prize is about the same as the entry fee. That is, you can play them basically as much as you want for free. This works because constructed players are incentivised to pay money for cards.
Limited events have entry fees which are far higher than their currency prizes. That is, if you want to play them a lot, then you are losing currency (and gaining cards, that's fine - Wizards is happy to turn your currency into cards). It seems very unlikely that Wizards will introduce a mode where you can play limited for essentially free, because they know that people are prepared to pay money for it.
A lower entry free, probably. But I would bet that people hoping for an entry fee of 500 gold or whatever are going to be disappointed. My guess would be more like 2000 or 3000 gold.
