Default Brake feel post bled

I know this has been discussed a thousand times, but I couldn't find my particular issue/ concern >>>

I completed the gravity bleed with ATE Super Blue this past week-end. I thought everything was set, but now I'm not so sure. I only saw some bubbles coming from the rear right, but once the super blue began to flow the bubbles were gone. No bubbles ever seen in the other brakes. I assumed no air in the lines. The MC never dropped low. That being said, I only used about half the liter when I bled the lines.

Brakes now feel a little softer (Motul was in before). They feel pretty close to my Si's in terms of progression and engagement.
Light up top >>> Progressive feel from 1/3 depressed until firm at around 60% depressed. I ran the car and stood on the brakes a few times last night, and the pedal felt solid at around 60% depressed.

Question for others >>> I read people talking about firm brakes and I'm wondering if I'm not experiencing this. I expected engagment to be sooner and the brake pedal to feel firmer.

Drive around a little (assuming good pedal pressure) and try bleeding again. Sometimes you gotta work the brakes to get all the air out.

It should feel exactly the same as it did before the brake flush, if it feels different you probably have air in the lines.
