Yes, I've been thinking if you have perfect looking spikes you'd be pretty well at perfect focus Brendan. Your post kind of confirms it in my mind anyhow..

I'm also thinking that by making your own 'spike mask' (fishing line/thin copper wire) for a refractor will not only add diffraction spikes for those that just love diffraction spikes in images, but double as a focussing device. Thoughts?
