The wire frame is fine - for the limited focal length it is made for. A Linhoff optical finder is hard to beat, even the earlier model.
And are you sure you can make the rangefinder (if it has one) match the lens you have chosen? I would be skeptical.
Forgive me for proselytizing, but comparing what you paid for the camera to the price of an improved accessory can be misleading. The improved part might raise the useful value of the camera considerably.
