Going back to 4-cars, you can reduce the frequency of Red and Blue Line trains and use those freed up "slots" for a SE Line while keeping the per-hour passenger capacity about the same for rush hour.
Users of the older lines will have to wait longer between trains but not needing a new underground or elevated line through DT will save a lot of money. Easily enough to reach Seton, and maybe a downpayment on something for the North.
