Same with Interrail/FIP availability (identical availability for both fares). Cologne to Brussels almost no availability in 2nd class even when booking several months in advance, Cologne to Paris (so same train number in this case) good availability. And with FIP it's only 10 % less for a ticket to Brussels, so for an extra €2 might as well book to Paris.
