Wow - thanks for coming back and updating the thread! :-)

It's really great to know how it turned out.

I also have a Shower's Pass Elite jacket for winter biking. It's worked "great" compared to the non-windproof stuff I was using before, but my feeling is similar to how you describe it. I haven't noticed condensation specifically, but it gets slightly clammy in the jacket. Thing is, with my non-windproof stuff after 2 hours of riding I would start to feel really cold. With my Shower's Pass jacket, after 2 hours of riding I feel the same if not better as I did at the beginning of my ride. Still feels slightly clammy - no worse than after my 15 minutes of riding, which is pretty cool.

I'm still hoping to run across something better. I was going to buy my dad a Gore Phantom jacket (windstopper), but he tried it on and didn't like it - the zipper was on the wrong side, but more importantly the zipper had a tendency to come apart (the 2 sides of the zipper would seperate) halfway up. So sadly, that was a no-go.

I've been curious to see if a Polartech "Wind Pro" jacket would do the trick for colder winter days with no threat of rain...it would definitely be more breathable, but it's windproofness is slightly more suspect. In the meantime, my Shower's Pass jacket continues solidly performing, though it's not 100% perfect for the task.
