muscles 2x a week

I agree with this too. When I cut down from 220 to 190 I tried to do the same weights as I've always used. When you cut down like that you are going to lose muscle no matter what so there is no need to make things worse by using lighter weights. I think that by using the heavy weights you can hold on to more muscle mass when cutting.

It's not a matter of choosing lighter weights, it's a matter of not being able to lift the heavier weights

That is true, but I didn't purposely choose to lift lighter weights, which is what you suggested. When my muscle mass decreased I was forced to lift lighter weights at that point only. I thought you were saying that when you go on a cutting cycle you should immediately start using lighter weights than normal. Sorry if I misunderstood.
