move the infinite to the center of the object
convert it to spot or point, and move along local z axis.
the further you move it, the better it will match an infinite light.
but with the advantage of soft shadows - make a small area light (disc) out of it, it'll look better.
For the key light I allmost allways end up using a spot or point rather than infinite.

Yep, I have done that before. Actually, that's a good idea. Thanks!

now for your dark spot,

if you turn off shadows in the render region does the dark spot still apear?

I'll try & and see whether I can get rid of it using your input. Thanks Peter!
