FAA IR vs CAA IR ???

What's the main differences between the FAA IR and the CAA version ?

Under FAA rules (part 61 anyway) we need 250 hours to do the commercial checkride. Also, there is no IMC, so many pilots go straight on and do the IR pretty shortly after the private rating, then build hours to do the Single Engine Commercial Instrument, then Multi Commercial Instrument.

Why the big difference in attitude between the two ?
