How many globular clusters can you resolve with a small scope ?

Here I mean an 8 or 10cm refractor scope.

What I tested:

10cm (Televue Genesis): Omega Centauri, 47 Tucanae (mostly), M13, M15, M92, M3 partially.
8cm (shorttube f/6.25) : M13 (partially), M3 (hint), omega Cen and 47 Tucanae not tested as I did not bring this scope on travel.
