Flats

Just wondering if I need to take full aperture flats on my 8" Newtonian or if I could just stop down the aperture (via the dust cover) and use my ed80 lightbox and expose longer until hitting the 50% mark on the histogram? Any issues I'm not aware of in doing this? Wouldn't get any effects from spider vains I guess (which might change something...)?
