By no means a "large" airliner, but the good old BAe-146 and AVRO RJ (last one produced in 2002) have unpowered, cable-controlled ailerons and elevators (using servo tabs) together with hydraulically powered roll spoilers and rudder.
You actually feel that you're moving the tab in the first half of the wheel deflection and then the whole tab + control surface in the second half (much heavier).
If you order too sharp a roll order you can even feel the downwing aileron tab being stalled for a second, a little bit like a car when you oversteer it ;-)
Now flying the A320 series, I do appreciate the full back stick procedure - it's simple and it works. And with EGPWS I guess you would never need more than 2,5G, would you ?
