Well, I have never used a bx5, but smooth and natural are not verbs I would use to describe any spring reverb. The beauty in a spring comes with the b0ing, the twang, and the rattle :-)

Is this BX5 expensive? In good working order? I would advise you get ahold of it and try it out, if it's a good price.
