Strange situation. If IPv4 is dead, not important, to be forgotten soon, which is the problem to pay more if you use a lot of IPv4 resources? For sure is not your problem, as all of you is going to leave IPv4. So, please, make a reasonable pricing based on fixed fee + usage of every resource. More resource you use (IPv6, IPv4, IPv7, IPv8) more you pay. Exactly like water, gas, trash, etc. I agree on a base fee around 800-1.000 EUR, adding costs of consumed resources (new entries pay the same as old entries).
