The Ultra 15x70 is a step up from the Obie LER 15x70. You'll notice finer star points, a bit better contrast and it will go just a little deeper. BUT, it's still a 15x70.
The 20x80, even though it is not a true 20x80, is going to give you a little more punch than either 15x70.
Build quality is better in the Ultra line.
Your current 15x70 is about 15x63 the Ultra is 15x70. Not sure exactly, but I suspect the 20x80 is clsoer to 19x72.
What this market needs is a 20x80 binocular in the Ultra series model line that will give users a real significant step up from 15x70 to a TRUE 20x80. Right now, it doesn't exist, not in that price range. I have never used a 20x80 that delivers a full 20x80.
