I can concur with a long-ish pedal stroke. The brakes are applied within 1.75" of pedal travel using a stock M/C.

A smaller M/C bore will provide more mechanical advantage, making the brakes apply tighter, but at the sacrifice of having to push the apply piston farther for the same reaction.

The half inch or so difference in pedal stroke didn't seem worth the hassle of plumbing for brake light switches, and retrofitting a Porsche M/C on her Bug.
