You state your seeing as 4.5/5, in other words very good. Try cranking the mag to 400-500x on 47 Tuc. You'll will be drooling! I do it all the time in typical seeing with good results
276x is my top Magnification. The seeing in our neck of the woods is typically average, so I often do not even get the 7mm Nagler out of the box.

I was pretty pleased with the views I got, but I must confess, I have never used more than 300x on any dob.

I just remember I had a good look at the Saturn Nebula at the high power as well, I love the detail at that power.
