Clutch lever travel - adjusting

Typically I ride with 2 fingers covering the clutch ( and the brake), and there's something starting to bug me, after 15 months of ownership.

Whilst riding, I can happily slip the clutch and control the speed in bends, filtering etc this way, and even disengage the clutch enough for a stop at lights etc.

But...

To disengage the clutch enough to change down a gear, I have to move the other 2 fingers out of the way, as the lever hits my fingers and stops coming back far enough. Which is annoying. Now it's done this with both clutches I've had fitted, fluids fresh, bubble free, and I've got the span adjuster set to max.

So, what if anything are my options?

Adjust the lever contact point on the M/C?
Different M/C? - Pricey though for an annoyance to be fixed
Some other adjustment?
Accept it, and adjust riding style?

I've already excluded a new slave cylinder as this increases lever travel.

Oh, and I already use clutchless upshifts, but I'm wary of clutchless downshifts on the 748, even when done properly so always use the clutch to shift down.
