Well I have learned there is no advantage as your application will not start until CHL100 is received. I am thinking what if the DPS had a window in the driver's license office to issue LTC's. This could certainly help. You submit application online, pay your money, go get printed, take class, and then go to the DPS office to get your license approved and sent to print. Similar to the DL process.

CHL100 Submitted 3/5/2016 after taking class

Headstart.........nope.....

The same for renewals, why is it more of a chore than your DL?

Why not just add it as an endorsement on your DL and renew at the same time? Talk about efficient.
