James,

I asked you in an earlier post "what is the difference between the two". I don't see any, other than a need to compensate for flexure or slop in the focuser, due to the weight of the camera and that IMO is not a collimation issue, it's putting a bandaid on a focuser issue.

IMO a defocused star at 200X is a lot more telling on miscollimation and any other optical issues (to someone who knows what they are looking for) than what you see on your CCD chip.

Cheers,
John B
