Hey Wayne,
if you are back, please report your expierence with the Austrian train.
And I would have made the same choice!
We use in September the overnight train/truck from Düsseldorf to Munich on our way to Slovenia.
book the train/truck 3 month ago and  pay double then you.
But why we choose the train/truck?
Because my friend rides a DR650 with knobby tyres and it´s not fun for her driving the 1000km to Slovenia on highways (normally we don´t drive on highways).
But due to lack of time we save more then 5 days with the train/truck and spent the same amount of money if we would drive ourselves (and we compared all possibilities: a) train/truck, b) by bike, c) rent a small van d) rent a trailer)
And we saw some advantages, not only the same money but we don´t loose much time, we are rested when we start the next day.
So I can understand your decision.
Good luck and please report about the train.
