Hi,
Since you are not sure about your living conditions and since atm you are happy with an 80 mm scope I think you would be blown away with an 8" sct. It's a lot of computerised scope for the money. Small, light and so very portable. A bonus is that you can easily do some planetary photography with it.
From a dark site you would see a lot of things.
An 8"sct is close to grab and go and generally is a keeper...
Cheers
