I think it should get hard way before that travel length. Once I got mine done and all the air out and all cylinders bled I cant go more than 1/2 to 3/4 pedal travel if I am standing on it.
and that 1/4 could be spring load in master as well and any little bit of play.
If they ware willing to ship you a new master why not will at least eliminate that maybe.
