I have several sets of Shimano brakes but the brand new LX (off Merlin) feels spongy. I'm squeezing fingers if apply a bit too much force. Very unlike the old-ish XT. Is it a case of topping up the oil or a re-bleed? If the latter, how?

Top them up first, then bleed them if you've still got the problem.

My SLX brake, from Wiggle, came with the MC only 1/3 full of oil. I topped it up and bled it and it felt fine after that.
I guess a small saving on oil for each unit adds up to a big saving overall for Shimano
