Default autocollimator and a laser?

Would an autocollimator improve collimation on a fast scope beyond what a
barlowed laser will?

thanks.

The CATSEYE and an autocollimator when used together give amazing results in
a very short time, less than 5 minutes from start to finish. I've been using
it since 1999, my scopes a 14.5" f/4.5. I haven't used my laser since I got
it. Save the laser money for something usefull like an eyepiece. Here's a
