The impeller driven coolmist pushes quite a bit of air but the droplets of water aren't fine enough to disperse all over the enclosed fruiting chamber. It's used primarily for fae. The ultrasonic sprays a cloud of ultra fine mist, which permeates the entire fruiting chamber easily.

I suggest putting a cool mist inside the greenhouse for humidity, and simply cut lots of slits or 'windows' for fresh air exchange. The normal circulation in your room will provide all the air exchange you need, provided you cut slits in the top and bottom of the greenhouse.

If you cut lots of slits like RR said you won't get condensation. Condensation is caused by a temperature differential on a surface.

If the inside of the greenhouse is the same temperature as the out, condensation would only happen at 100% RH. You may also get a few drips off the hoses if you pipe the air in.
