Now, I don't understand how VBR can be better. VBR is what people use if they want to constrain file size while having an illusion of having a high quality mp3. If you're taking this chunk of a song, and this chunk of a song, and putting it down to 130 kbps while keeping the rest at 192kbps, you are degrading the quality of the song.
CBR, while the larger file size, keeps it All high quality (or the quality you have chosen).

Variable means you give it a range to do, usually 128-256, so the softer/silent sections get the lower grade, while the other section get pumped up to 256, they don't strech it out, thats why you rip it, so it will rip the extra bitrates it need.
