The tolerance between new and at the limit rotors is like 2 or 3mm. There's far less increase in the pedal travel due to rotor wear compared to the 1/4" per side (almost .5" total) that the pads can wear down while within spec.
Adjusting the pedal travel before engagement (actual braking force applied) is very easy and I wrote a short write up about it.
The master cylinder could be on it's way out as well. Any leaking or evidence of stripped paint directly underneath where the MC mounts to the brake booster?
