The only time I've had brakes that felt spongy with new pads and there wasn't air in the system was when one of the front discs warped.
If the disc is dish shaped the pads get pushed back so far that the volume of fluid the lever can shove into the cylinders isn't enough to take up the slack. Take a close look at each disc as someone squeezes the lever for you... if the edge of the disc moves a visible amount then that could be the problem.
