You can save the Collector Station for the purpose of fighting the Reapers instead of furthering Humanity, but how much do you want to bet Illusive Man won't take your advice? What if at the end, The Illusive Man tries to become a Reaper, using tech from the Station, so he can try to lead the Reapers for Humanity against the alien races? Then, he becomes the final boss in ME3, or you can side with him, wiping out the aliens. Just a thought that occured to me.
