I found the best option to pick the dates was via Matrix as that showed very clearly that the length of stay affected price. Managed to get 2 x €1250 / £1100 with AMS LHR CPT / CPT LHR LGW AMS routing. 20th to 26th March - and it looked like there were still some days at that level of price that week. Indeed I had a choice of 3 flights back at a €20 difference in fare (2 to LHR, 1 to LGW; 2 x 747 and 1 777).
Good luck
