Bolex reflex vs non reflex

I am wanting to shoot 16mm and came across a Bolex h16 non reflex for $500 which is more my budget. However I understand focusing is difficult on a non reflex. Would anyone recommend the non reflex or should I save up and for a reflex? I know they’re very pricey but just wondering if anyone who has maybe used both has suggestions.
