Row formulas are not supported, but the new range formulas you already
tried are even more powerful:

Your range formula @address@hidden@address@hidden will work if you upgrade at
least to this commitdiff
http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commitdiff;h=8237c9ae6d587a22646333e0315683675e2db538
and will deliver

|               |    a |    b |    c |    d |
| Specific cost |    1 |    9 |    2 |    3 |
| System size   | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 |
|               | 1000 | 9000 | 2000 | 3000 |
| ...           |  ... |  ... |  ... |  ... |
#+TBLFM: @address@hidden@address@hidden

For this application I would suggest
#+TBLFM: @4$<<address@hidden>address@hidden@-2
