Clutch effort on 1987-1990 240 200

This is interesting to me because i have an 86 740 with a short clutch travel, and is harder to push down than my mothers 84 240 with a much larger clutch travel. You know this makes sense because if you spread the work of engaging the clutch over more distance your force necessary to move the clutch is reduced (basic physics).

Also, my 740 now has a 240 tranny (minus bellhousing and clutch). It is still the same with a hard clutch.

I don't know what to conclude from this besides that different years or cars had different clutches and stuff...
