As a bedroom producer, I’ll have to disagree. My $300 Rhodes condenser mic sounds way better for vocals than my e906 Sennheiser dynamic mic. I don’t have an optimal space, and haven’t even looked into the acoustics of the room.

Your e906 is designed primarily to be stuck in front of guitar amps, I'm not surprised that a Rode LDC would beat it. That does not mean that everyone recording in their bedroom will do better with a condenser microphone vs a good dynamic.
Point taken. I should try a different dynamic mic. I hadn’t considered the one I was using was designed strictly for guitar amps.

Anyone have dynamic mic recommendations for vocals?

SM 57, 58, 7b.

I love them each dearly.

I posted them above SM7B from Shure $399 Sennheiser e945 $219 SM58 from Shure $99 (This is a tank of a mic that just rocks)
The SM7B would take issue with your condenser > dynamic claim haha
