When replacing 80 ft of old steel pipe which is fed from half inch pipe with copper is there any reason to use 3.4 inch pipe instead?

That's 3/4" pipe, not 3.4" prehaps it would deliver more pressure through the 1/2 inch pipe than 3/4 inch. 3/4" pipe will be less restrictive over the course of the run. Otherwise, no. 1/2" Copper Pipe will do fine, since it has a smoother bore, less restrictive, no lime and rust build-up. The only reason for you to use 3/4" pipe is if you want more volume. The pressure remains the same.

If the old steel pipe was half inch, it is recommended to replace it with half inch copper pipe to maintain consistent water flow. Using a larger diameter pipe (3/4 inch) may lead to reduced water pressure and inefficient operation. Stick to the half inch size for best results.
