Dennis if the 8 inch is getting a bit too much to lift, then that's a good enough reason to go down to the ETX 125 in my opinion.
Of course the drop in aperture is not desired but if in the end it'll mean you use and enjoy your smaller scope more then that's what matters.
I've heard the ETX 125's are great scopes and you won't need to collimate.
If possible then try one before you buy but I'd say yes go with the ETX 125 for portability.
