This has always been an irritation for me, as all of my other manual shift cars have the clutch start to engage about 2" coming up off of the floor.
One other thought: I've concluded from the above personal experience as well as numerous other posts on Pelican, Rennlist, etc. that these clutches do not communicate very well to your left foot when/as the clutch is starting to engage. Until you get used to it and have learned to compensate, you risk the embarrassment of stalling as you're trying to get moving in 1st gear.
That is my opinion of the clutch engagement before & after DD for 13 yrs.
