You have to remember that at this time Jupiter is 35" in apparent diameter and Saturn about 19" but twice that width width with the rings. Mars is only 15" in comparison. Jupiter and Saturn will be less susceptible to poorer seeing because of their size and much more easily defined features. For any detail on Mars you need very good seeing.
