DejaVu Sans Condensed is an absolutely lovely font and it's worth noting that the whole DejaVu set can be @font-face embedded without legal worries. Having said that Tahoma has more complex (and, IMO, more distracting and readability-imparing) curves and tighter eyes that give it extra visible 'detail' — in that respect I'd recommend Lucida Sans Unicode as an alternative to Tahoma — that's Sans Unicode as opposed to Grande, which renders horrific on screen (particularly on PC).
