Using a laser to adjust the tilt of the secondary will get it spot on, but i only beleive it needs to be that accurate when using the laser or barlowed laser technique to adjust primary tilt. A small error in secondary tilt will just result in a slightly tilted focal plane once the primary is aligned to it.

Using the cheshire cross hairs will get you pretty damn close so the laser is just a secondary tool here.
