Why can't I get the brake pedal to feel right?!

I replaced the MC (with a unit from vertex), bled it way too many times...and it just doesn't feel right.
I just measured, with the car off, I can push the brake pedal 2 inches before it hits resistance. BTW I've been using a pressure bleeder, 5-10psi, one time 15psi.

I'm at a loss, the clutch was recently bled as well. Actually, I think the brake pedal got WORSE after the last time I bled it...the pedal was never pushed to the floor, only pushed down an inch, at the most 2 to try to get air out of the MC itself.

Suggestions? Is the replacement MC bad? (pedal does NOT drop to the floor if I hold my foot on the pedal).

I've driven it 2 days since I last bled it...maybe I should just drive it and it'll get better?

Pads/rotors haven't been replaced...I see no need. Absolute braking force is there..

help me before I go krazy!
