Oooh, right where I like em. :D
Sounds normal for a new clutch to me, but if it bugs you that much change your linkage geometry so the pedal travels more with less travel at the fork.
The only real problem with that is when the clutch wears and the disengagement point gets lower and lower on the pedal.
Build yourself a slotted linkage so you can readjust and always have it right where you want it as the clutch wears.:D
