The lack of "q" feel is not really related to an aircraft being FBW. The machines I drive have cables from the yoke to the power control units on the surfaces with only springs for resistance. The "feel" is the same at 130KIAS as 360KIAS. It takes a bit of getting used to, but is not a problem.
Having said that, from a "fun to fly" point of view I would prefer it if they were nice and light at low speed with the force required increasing as you go faster.
