Time suggestions are usualy completely off the mark. Four hours turn into 20 for anything resembling production code (which is what companies are interested in).
I like the idea of take home projects but it shouldn't come right after a phone screen or even the first real interview. More like as close to the last step as possible.
And then there's the question of what other professions ask candidates to work X hours for free. Let's assume our field is too special and not get too deep into the rabbit role ;)
