I have the opposite to you,half way down with the pedal there aint much ,then its rock hard but the brakes are then awsum. I have new disks,pad,calipers,braided hoses ,no air in the system,been bleeded starting with the furthest to the closest and still cant get a good pedal at the top!!!  Work that one out!

When the callipers are new you do get far more returning of the pistons ie more travel, add new pads in and they will feel more spngey, but I suspect that Mike has a point about wheel bearings too.
