Suburban skies are probably not helping you, also considering the aperture you are using. What's your experience with the scope when observing under dark skies? I can see E and F in the trap in my TV85 under dark skies. At home where it's brighter they are not easy to see at all in the little scope, but the 4" shows them clearly.
So that would be my suggestion, get out under dark skies somewhere and I'm sure you will realise what a great scope you have.
