The reason for not reusing fluid bled from the system could be the cause of your soft pedal. When the fluid spurts out, it becomes aerated. Some of the bubbles are visible, others are so small as to be microscopic. The larger ones will rise to the top of the container and escape, but the tiny ones will remain for a long time. Air is air, no matter what size the bubbles are, and it is compressible.

If you have been reusing the fluid, I would start over again and bleed everything until you are sure you have all new fluid in the system.

There is a racing brake fluid (I forget the brand) that comes in two different colors that are otherwise identical so you can be sure you have gotten all the old stuff out.
