That EUR 29 fare has really made this a no-brainer... it would be silly to pay all that extra money just to save a bit of time. Our worst-case scenario would be a 59 minute wait for the next RE if we've just missed one... in which case we could spend some of the money saved on having a bite to eat! (I've never been to Ostbahnhof... I presume there is somewhere to get some lunch?)
Many thanks indeed,
