which size?
i measured the poles i've been using for the last 10 or more years (Life-Link Variant Approach), and they're pretty much 49" tall when fully extended. so i'm leaning towards the BD 125cm so that i can have the smallest possible poles when collapsed for the way down (my life-link's are 30.5" collapsed). are there any major advantages to having 6" more in length if i were to go with the 140cm?

I would say keep to what you are comfortable with, since if you get the longer option, you will most likely drop it down to what you are used to, and that extra will be wasted. If you feel like you need something a bit longer, than go for it, since packed down size is way less important that hike up comfort.
