Why bother with ASA if you already decided on 1/125s @ f11?
Sunlight is not much different....high in the Alps, I use the same 
settings as on a normal summer day.

Personally I think it is much better to use HIE in terms of 
shutterspeed/aperture combinations than in ASA....you get a much 
better feel for the film, under various circumstances. And in this 
case, it also avoids the problem of different reflection of your main 
subject.

The only thing I have in my mind for HIE & #87C is: 1/60s @ f5.6-f11.
Any deviation starts from there (#25 is two stops minus, telelens is 
two stops shift, late afternoon is 2 stops plus).
I wish EIR were that easy....8-))
