I think you might get better results if you could get this rowcount
estimate a bit more in line with reality:

It's choosing to hash instead of doing (what it thinks will be) 23K
index probes into the other table. For 1000 probes the decision
might be different.
I don't know if raising the stats target for that table will be enough
to fix it. Most likely those four conditions are not uncorrelated.
You might need to think about revising the table's representation
so that the query condition can be simpler and thus more accurately
estimated.
