When I did this I was amazed and delighted. I
doubt you will regret the move. Even better
would be the Aristo VC light and Metrolux
controller. But the plain light is just fine.
I predict you'll wonder why you didn't do it
years ago.

(I suppose I should declare my own biases --
I'm a portraitist, so you could say I'm in
love with skin tones and tonality and shadows
full of meaning ... Maybe people who like
harsh contrast and soot and chalk and Bill
Brandt might like condensers better.
Although, frankly, if I liked soot and chalk
I might still prefer an Aristo light.)

I guess you don't have much of a Goth clientele ;)

This shows that you're an absolute moron. Condensers do not give 'soot
and chalk', any more than any other system. You simply have to develop
your film properly, and theat means LESS than the times given by the
idiotic film manufacturers.
