Is the competency based instrument rating(CBIR) a quicker and cheaper way to get IR

If you already hold an IR(R) previously known as IMC rating ,or have significant experience.Then is a the CBIR a cheaper and quicker alternative than a full from scratch IR course to obtain the same qualification?I understand that if you've done ATPL theory or additional modules then you can also use it on "high performance aircraft" hpa.So would it be valid for airlines? the last is the one I'm getting a whole range of mixed messages on.

Thanks.
