it doesnt really matter how big or small the telescope is, it still needs to be collimated with some precision to get the best images out of it.

i use my laser for both primary collimation and secondary tilt as its easier to get the primary in the ball park from the rear of the scope, then i do the final adjustments with the cheshire although ive collimated purely with the laser and the star tests looked fine.

if you want to go a step further and get it 'perfect' then you could check out the tools from catseye.
