Pedal feel with 302mm brakes

I just installed C70 302mm front brakes onto my '97 940.

I notice I need to press the pedal a little bit further and it is not as stiff as before.

Is this to be expected because of the piston diameter (no idea if there is a difference) or did I not bleed correctly?
 
As far as I remember the pistons are the same size. So the pedal should feel the same, just with more stopping force.
 
Also initial pedal feel will be a little bit soft initially until the new pads bed in and compress, but it can't hurt to bleed again worst you can do is to flush some more junk out of the system.
