Yes, by themselves the 20X80s can't be hand held easily - I've tried the supposed trick of holding them near the objective lens, but that doesn't work well for me. But when I attach them to a tripod, the extra weight of the tripod does make them hand holdable (for a while at least).
Try attaching a tripod to your 15X70s and hand holding the tripod, you'll be surprised at how much steadier the extra mass makes them.
