The author says he wants a 4K display. 4K is 3840x2160 - 8,294,400 pixels. This monitor is only 3440x1440 - 4,953,600 pixels.
That is hardly more than a 2560x1600 30" display (4,096,000 pixels). By contrast a full 4K display has more than twice as many pixels as a 30" display.

I can't speak enough praises of the Dell UP3214Q. It is by far the nicest monitor I've ever used and gives full 60Hz with OS X 10.9.3 on a MacBook Pro. It came fully calibrated from Dell, has a solid-feeling aluminum base, awesome matte finish and provides a USB3 hub. I was able to grab one from Newegg for $2200. Now, it isn't TB2, but I'd rather have a nice, adjustable display a buy a separate thunderbolt 2 dock when one comes out.
For the price I purchased it, it is less than two Dell U3011 or U3014 displays, is better-constructed and doesn't suffer from dual-screen calibration issues. I don't consider Apple displays viable since they aren't height-adjustable and only come in a glossy finish.
