I'm referring to London-Brussels.

Remember that DB London-Spezial tickets allow you to stopover (up to 48 hours) - this includes in Brussels.

DB tickets are priced on the basis of the ICE you take from Brussels, not the Eurostar. Therefore, the price differential tends to be highest if you book on the Sunday early morning ICE from Brussels (low demand) and you want to take a Friday afternoon (high demand) Eurostar from London-Brussels.
