I just had a friend go through the same thing. I am very impressed with the ACT HDSS. my friend ended up going with it and it is greaaatttt! I thoroughly plan to buy one for myself when the time comes. As long and your gonna be making 450whp or less it's fine. AND THEY HAVE CRAZY DEALS ON THEM HERE...
PM- importdps
They are having a crazy blowout on them with extremely fair prices!
So Less than 450whp...ACT HDSS
More then 450whp Exedy Twin or the ACT XDSS

Yeah it is softer, my friend has an ACT clutch and its really hard to push in, really makes shifting suck! With the quartermaster it's like butter touchy, but it grabs like no other!

I have a Exedy stage one single disc very grabby and very firm pedal. Had the car on the dyno last sat and the guy running the car had a hard time with it, he even stalled... TWICE lol

How much power does your car make? Drag Race? Road Race? Do you drive in traffic? What's your budget?
I just installed a HDSS-MB7 this weekend and so far I like it. Pedal is a little stiffer than stock, light chatter, it's rated at 500+ ft/lbs of tq and most people on here claim good wear characteristics. I only have 100miles on mine so I'm still breaking it in. Also it lowered my engagement point and shifting is clean and crisp.
I agree, sadly the Exedy Stg 1 fits the OP's request. Mine lasted 12K miles with about 10 1/4 mile passes. By comparison my OEM clutch lasted 24K miles with 30-40 1/4 miles passes and a track day. IMO, the Exedy Stg 1 is the worst clutch choice for the Evo. I really wanted to believe it would suit my needs, but due to it's poor wear characteristics, heavy pedal, chatter, I deem it complete JUNK.

I purchased the ACT Street Disc Clutch with the Streetlite flywheel. I bought it as a combo package form lancershop.com for under $800. I have absolutely no regrets so far and I've had it on my Evo IX MR SE for about 7,000 miles. Only thing I would advise you is that make sure you get a very knowledgeable and reliable person to install the clutch for you since it's a very complicated task. I had my local Evo tuner do the install and he did a superb job!!

Why do you want a clutch with a stiff pedal? Grabby could also be defined as chattery and difficult to drive in traffic. It's possible you should use some other criteria to decide which clutch to buy.
