FWIW, DB recently quoted me ~GBP350 for a ticket by e-mail. Phoning
them up got it down to GBP175 plus a cheap advance Eurostar ticket,
which should be a lot less than the difference.

I've found that it's often better, rather than buying a cheap advance
Eurostar ticket, to buy a package holiday to Paris or Brussels. You
don't have "Saturday night stay" problems, and even if you don't use the
hotel it can be cheaper than the fares alone.

My last two business trips (including the one I'm on right now) were
done this way, and I got free upgrades to first class.
