Tom, quick word of advice when doing your brake job this summer; do NOT leave the system, or at least the master cylinder, open for very long. I did the same as you a few years ago (replaced rotors, pads, painted calipers and installed stainless steel lines) and I left the system open for a few days while I got all of that done. Once I put everything back together the braking seemed even worse than it did before. The VX would stop OK, but if I kept my foot on the pedal it would eventually go to the floor. Finally figured out that some of the seals in the master cylinder were bad and had to replace it. Now, it may have been on it's way out before I did the brake job, but a couple of mechanic friends told me that letting the system sit dry may have ruined the seals in the master.
