Switching an Alternative Ability takes a Ready Maneuver. So, limiting CM in that way really doesn't make any sense, as switching your Alternative Abilities isn't a mental action.

I have seen the suggestion that it's fair as a -80% limitation for Altered Time Rate, which would allow an extra Ready Maneuver.

PK also suggests paying 2/5 for instant switch Alternative Abilities would be fair.
PK's suggestion is sensible to apply to this case.

If you're interested in an Extra Ready maneuver, it has come up quite a few times over the years. I've seen estimates from 10 points (which seems a bit low to me) up to 25 (same as Extra Attack). Searching on those keywords should find the pertinent threads.
