Hi Tom,

I have a 102mm ED/APO and from a dark-sky site Omega Centauri is partially but not fully resolved.

There's no doubt a 127mm would be an improvement over the 80mm but it would likely still be marginal in a light-polluted sky.
If your main interest is deep-sky visual then aperture is king and you would be better off with something larger.
