That's pretty much it, yes.

The reason that the feel is improved is that the factory pedal return spring is powerful enough that it (in my opinion, completely) masks the force from the clutch spring.

The slop is really minimal, likely no more than a quarter to half an inch at the top. The perfectionist in me would really like to resolve that slop, even though I don't believe it's enough to cause any functional issues. Truly after a few days I've stopped noticing it as much.
