I’ve ended up adjusting the lever reach screw in the 105 shifters which has improved the bite point significantly- pads still need bedding in but feels a lot better now.

In what direction did you do this? or in other words, were you trying to gain more lever throw or less?
I hate my spyres. I've got new Tiagra levers and Jagwire compressionless housing.
It feels like when braking from the drops, I just can't stop (maybe my small hands). I can engage the levers and they quickly bite, but they don't quite bite enough. So I guess that means short lever throw, quick engagement, but no bite/power?
Maybe I just miss the modulated feel of rim brakes?
What do people think of the TRP HY/RD setups?

Arm should be able to fully retract, although do get rid of any cable slack with the barrel adjuster, then use the pad adjusters to get pads nice and close to rotor, bite should be nice and soon. As for bedding in its good to do so purposefully, with freshly sanded or new pads and rotors go really fast then brake really hard without quite stopping or locking up the wheel (weight back helps) a fair few times for each brake.
