and still poor braking - any advice appreciated

Hello , I have a 84t w/107K and since I have owned it (85K) I have never been satisfied with the brakes compared the other 900's I have owned.Recently I did pads , rotors, new master cylinder ,bleeding and now my pedal no longer drops as it did, but the hard braking (panic) capabilities leave much to be desired. The pedal is not spongey( not hard either) but there seems to be some slack before it takes hold. Could it be frozen or rusty pistons in the calipers ?. The pedal requires more pressure than other Saabs I have driven to make a quick stop. Normal city driving requires very little pressure.I checked the power assist by pumping the pedal with the engine off ,then starting the car and the pedal drops indicating that it is alright. I guess I can only look at the calipers now. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks BJ
