How muscle bound are you? The larger the MC the more 'leg' you'll need.
Your can modifiy the pedal ratio which will help, or you can see what the piston area of the calipers are compared to what you had prior. A non boosted MC much larger than maybe 7/8 takes some effort.
As RARA said; grippy pads will help, as will larger rotors. It's going to depend largely on what you want to spend or can make do.
