I am thinking potentially 40 points (down to 750ish FICO). That said I expect half of that to come back in 6 months and 80% to return after a year. I could be way wrong but that is my WAG.
I'm in agreement with debtisgood. Your AAoA is excellent (and will be even after those new accounts are calculated in). Your %utility will go down simply because you've added the CL from those 4 new accounts. The inquiries probably won't hurt you much since 4 isn't too bad and once they fall off you'll be in great shape again.
