I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you should drive my car. Come to cars and coffee tomorrow morning. I'm serious.

Dual 7/8" master cylinders feel completely different than a tandem bore 7/8" master cylinder. It makes the latter setup feel like spongy power brakes. The Pozzis thought my brakes just flat out didn't work when they drove my car at Del Mar. Fran at RCR specs out 3/4" fr and 7/8" rr for his GT40s. Campell Auto Restoration prefers the same for most of their builds, which is what Kevin spent a while chatting with me about at last years Grand National Roadster Show.

If you think about it, the 3/4" will have a longer stroke with less resistance, whereas the 7/8" will will be firmer and move the same amount of fluid with less stroke. On these setups you'll be able to use the balance bar to adjust bias. I'm guessing you'll want to roll the bar fairly heavily towards the front... Damn this is to hard for me to explain right now. I need to just show you some time lol.
