Focus aid is it any good?

Hi all,
Recently while in at the Bintel shop I was talking to one of the guys about getting a Bahtinov Mask to help with focusing through the DSLR camera and his quick response was no forget about them just fit a couple of strands of fine wire across the front of the scope and will cause star spikes when in focus.
He also said if you like the look of refraction spikes in your images leave the wires on while shooting.

Haven't had time to do anything about a mask so was wondering has anyone tried the wire cross trick and if so how well did it work for you.
