If your 114mm reflector is well collimated, you will be able to see some great sights, even with mediocre eyepieces. The first time I saw Omega Centauri through my 114mm Newt, I was dumbfounded. It was amazing! It was when I tried to obtain a larger image-scale through the eyepiece that the limitations of this aperture became obvious.
Aperture limitations notwithstanding, the 114mm was a great introductory tool for globular and open star clusters, and some of the brighter nebulae, as well as views of both Saturn, Jupiter and of course, Luna.
