Spongy usually always mean air in the system.

Although you do not specify which Amazon manual you have, I can't believe it would be any different. Most procedures work from the farthest wheel from the master cylinder to the nearest.

Perhaps it is just my imagination, but I think the location of the master cylinder (low in relation to the wheel cylinders) makes the 544 one of the easiest systems to bleed.

If you paid "good money" to have it done, have him do it again.

I don't get your mechanic's relation of "play" and "spongyness".
The pedal should be firm, period!
