I use a light, handheld telescope (80mm) to look at ships at sea from a nearby hill. Started off using 25x for several years, but then changed to 19x. Holding the scope steady enough at 25x was possible, but much more comfortable at 19x.

In short, my experience is that 25x is doable, but 19x is more enjoyable and I see just as much detail.
