Most important is to do what you are most comfortable and in the future you can always use the 75 or 90 as a sump. Hehe 
That's what I plan to use mine current 75 in a year.
Couple of months ago I walked into Petco looking for a 40g sump and I came out with a 75g and no sump and bangin my head now why didn't I get the 90. I'm planning for a 220 next year and after I get the 220 I probably want a 300, 400...I don't think most of us will ever be satify with the size. Only if I can stop adding fish...
btw--nice house and you can start planning for your future fish room.

Go with the 75, if you decide not to go with a large tank. It's the perfect size before going to a lrage reef. I love mine. Here are some pics.

Why not wait a little longer and get what we all know you want and is atleast that six foot tank.. If you do go that route and do decide to upgrade equipment and lighting might as well spend a few extra 100 dollars and get a 180...Has the great width as 120 and the length you like in the 125.. The tank will be the least expensive part. Just hold off aslong as you can get some money together and do it big the first time instead of dumping all this money in a 75 when you know you will be saying man i wish i would of gone bigger!

If you are worried about the 75 being too short get the 90. Are you going to have a DSB or SSB.
SSB - 75g
DSB - 90g
Just My Opinion.
SSB - 75g
DSB - 90g

143gadgets,
Beautiful 75g tank . I keep my DSB in the sump, and I like my display tank to have a 1-2†sand bed.
Yoboyjdizz,
I would wait, but my tank is at a relative’s house in town. We sold our other house last year, and needed a place to keep the tank until the new house was complete. They would like me to get the tank over to the new house, and so would I. It’s a pain to drive over there practically every night to feed the fish and dose the B-ionic. Plus, my automatic top-off water only lasts about a week before I have to fill the bucket back up.
I figured now would be the perfect time to upgrade to a larger tank. I saw the 75g this afternoon, and will look at a 90g tonight. I’ll decide soon, since I have store credit at the LFS from bringing in a bunch of my fragged frogspawn and Red Sea Xenia. If I place the order for the tank by end of the day Tuesday, the tank should arrive by Friday, and I can use my store credit towards the purchase. I’d like to work on the stand and stuff over the 3 day weekend.

I went and looked at the 90g, and it seems just right for my setup. The extra 4 inches in height makes the viewing area seem much better. I'll add a couple more bulbs to get more light to the deeper portions.
Funny, I start out asking about a 75g or 125g, but end up with a 90g.
