I didn't actually know this so I'll take this chance to ask if I've spent roundabouts 100 quid on a condenser unnecessarily?

Depends whether it works for you or not. There is a common misconception that condensors are better microphones. To an untrained ear the hyped top end and low end bump of a cheap condensor can sound really appealing, problem is its not always useful, theres a place for dynamic, ribbon and condensor mics in recording, you just have to find whats right for a particular application.
If i were looking for a one mic for all type thing and my budget was 100 quid, i'd probably get a good dynamic over a condensor. The good thing is, if you get a good dynamic as well as your condensor you've got 2 options and you're more likely to get in the ballpark of the sound you're trying to achieve.
