I too was unhappy with the braking performance of my 2010. I took it to the dealer about two weeks after picking it up and they said just drive it a few thousand miles and the braking performance will improve; it didn't.

I proceeded to remove the rotors and had them skimmed, spiral sanded them with 120 grit sand paper them cleaned them up. I then installed stainless steel brake lines and Hawk HPS pads, bled the brake system and bedded the pads in according to the Hawk instructions. Huge difference; much better initial bite and overall performance.

Interestingly enough, I still experienced a somewhat spongy pedal until someone cut in front of me about a month after the upgrade and I got the brake system into ABS. Since then, the pedal is nice and firm.
