Depends a lot on your personal circumstances and why you want an IR. If you have reasons for wanting both an FAA and an EASA IR (eg flying N-reg in Europe) then it can make sense. If the timings / availability work in terms of tying in with your holiday that it might make sense (though an IR is lots of work so you won't get much "holiday"!).
Your best bet would be to look at the cost of your FAA IR then speak to schools in Europe who can take you through a CBIR. Once you have done that you can decide whether it makes sense for you.

FAA EASA IR Conversion
A very good friend of mine has just completed this conversion.
By comparison, it was a far cheaper option that obtaining an EASA IR.
Lurcherman maybe you can elaborate.

I would be interested in going the other direction, in getting an FAA licence from my EASA ATPL. Any suggestions where to start? I have done all my training inc LPC etc with flightsafety here in the UK.

Probably the lesser option would be much more attainable and that would be getting an FAA CPL/IR
