I am sure the quality of the coating has a effect on reducing misting.
i don't know about different vibrations, but a large raindrop has alot more force behind it than light rain does, and i certainly wouldn't expect light rain to be knocking condensation loose...it takes some degree of force to do that and it takes heavier rain to create that force. the same argument could be made for misting as well.

i can tell you that silnylon with an adequate coating will not mist "at all"
