The block in, or the disc in, should make no difference to the free travel in a hydraulic brake. These brakes will "ratchet"
up to bite point and remain there. Are you sure you didn't just experience the initial catch-up phase where the first few pumps will move the pistons to their new position?
If now, are you sure your bleeding was successful. The only test is this: leave the bike for an hour or so. Then position yourself at the bars and put your hands on the brakes. Now concentrate. Pull the lever (one at a time) and mentally note where the lever ends up. Now release and pump it a few times. Does it now bite higher up? In other words, did it pump up? If so, then there is air in the system.
Between tests, you have to leave it for a few hours. Don't just approach and start pumping wildly, that will not tell you anything.
Then, remember that most quality hydraulic brakes have a reach adjust as well as a bite point adjust. I don't know the particular model you cite offhand, but it may well have both those adjustments. You have to understand what the difference between them is and what it will do to the feel of the brake.
