I'm roughly 5'5"/5'6" depending if you ask my wife or me.
An Al 80 is a bit tall on me but nothing that isn't crazy annoying. Now if you're 5'3" and below then yes it's a pain in the ass especially if you're gearing up on a sit-down bench. Aside from that it's not a problem for me when I'm standing or diving; and I place my tanks low.
You know your son's strength best. An Al80's height isn't going to be a problem for him IMO, and he's still got growing potential at his age.
