The only pain is that the brakes are tougher than a nuns stare with engine off but when the servo kicks in the pedal drops too much - it should drop but not to the very back. The brakes on these are traditionally soft but when I get her tarted before a photo shoot I'll have the brakes bled properly in the garage.
So a success all in all, very happy:

There wasn't any pedal freeplay really, but it obviously alters the position of the pedal onto the pushrod so can excert more force on the master cylinder. Mine were as you described - hard as nails without assistance, but felt like they had air in them when the servo had a vacuum source. I'd bled them about 50 times 4 different ways and even had 2 garages bleed them... so once you're sure they're bled right you could try this.
I don't know for sure that they are, but the MR2s one was. This is what I did:

Such a great thread! And what a beauty you have produced! The commitment to turning a cheap rust bucket into this fine piece of work is second to none. Great job dude!
