Rick, 15/16" bore MC with C5/C6 front calipers is virtually the same as 7/8" bore MC with C4 calipers (12-13% difference in area for both the calipers and the MC's). Your pedal travel shouldn't be excessive with the 6:1 pedal ratio, but definitely check it after installing the smaller bore MC. I've been meaning to look at whether there is a compatible, smaller bore rear wheel cylinder to reduce pedal travel since the MC is now generating more pressure, but haven't yet found the time for that particular research project.
