Switch to Silicone and Reduction by Either 75 or 125ccs?

I started with saline implants of 425. I had symmastia for 15 years. This has been repaired, but I chose saline implants filled to 625. It has been 12 weeks. They have dropped and look much better, but they are overly firm as I didn't have much natural tissue. I am switching to silicone and want to go slightly smaller as I am now a very full D. I plan to switch to either 500 or 550 HP silicone implants. How much is a 75cc or 125cc reduction equivalent too. I am hoping to be a full C/sm D.

By dropping down 75-125 cc you have to figure that a 125 cc decrease in volume may correspond to about a cup size.
