If you are just collimating all that counts is that you can at least focus on the artificial star. If you are trying to evaluate optical quality thats a whole different ball game . Distances at which the proximity of the artificial star won't induce some spherical aberration become much longer as the aperture increases, but spherical aberration is not a great hinderance to collimation.
