Binocular and mirror aid

Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this one but here goes...

How accurate does the surface of a mirror have to be (used in conjunction with straight through binos for easier viewing) to support powers say between 25x-75x?

For example, a front surface mirror figured at 1/4 wave would support up to what power?

Thanks,

Eric
