Do you know about how many hours you played on avg. each month?
There's no definitive answer, man. I'm just giving you examples of variance that I've experience myself. I cannot say with any certainty that a $650 bankroll will last 120 hours, or even that is "likely" to last that long. It certainly could. As others have said, there's no real basis to think you are a winning player other than that you have experience (in other variants) and confidence. We really have no idea how well you play 2/4 LHE, but I think most of us would assume you would lose in the game in the long run, so that's why everyone is suggesting a bigger starting bankroll.
As Doug said, If you are taking a shot at the promo and don't mind losing $650, then go for it. You don't need a bankroll.
Edit: I typically play 160 or so hours of poker each month, but for those two particular bad months of 8/16 my sample sizes are actually pretty small: 44 hours and 80 hours in the months I lost 150+ big bets. Note: my decrease in hours those months isn't because I was running bad it's because I was traveling to play tournament series.
