Collimation/rotating diagonal

I realized yesterday that rotating the diagonal in my C8 when observing East/West has much larger effect on the collimation than a possible mirror displacement. The effect is not large and is only noticable on focused stars at hight power.

How do rotating focusers fare in this respect, in particluar the WO SCT Crayford focuser?
