The WPG rule is only a guideline and tank height plays a big role, but I would agree that 4wpg is low...though you are also talking about a relatively shallow tank. I have 48w on my 12g nano dx and it is sufficient for mushrooms, zoanthids, star polyps, etc. 80w would be enough to grow a lot of different things...I would wait and save
