Great video all around. On my microphone journey, I eventually realized exactly what you said. Condensers are the play. Just modestly treat your space and you'll get AMAZING results. I realized this after sitting in the sea of sub $500 mics, I bought a Lewitt 440 Pure and CAD E100S as my first condensers and liked them a lot actually. Eventually, I decided to spurge a bit and get an MKH 416 which I've enjoyed. Maybe I'll get a U87 one day, we'll see.
This was awesome. Mics are just so much fun. I've found myself leaning more towards condensers lately, and now I have a better understanding of why. 👍
Great to hear! (literally... haha).

416 is an absolute staple, and I know you'll appreciate the u87 when that comes your way too
