The pointers to bench bleeding the MC appear to be dead-on. However, I did not remove the new MC. Rather, I followed the bleeding instructions found in the green book on page 23:

The trick is once you've completed a standard bleed, you must go back and re-bleed while pumping the MC a few times.

Brake travel is reduced and feels more solid.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
