Using your numbers, I think of peltiers this way, they can 'pump' 400W of heat with a zero deg difference in temp OR they can 'pump' 200W of heat with about half of their rated temp diff. approx. 32 deg.

As an example, I am going to be using 20 50W pelts (1000W) running with about 120W of power applied to lower my approx. 250W heat load by about 15 deg C.

Hope that helps.
