Moissanite is a 9.5/10 on the hardness scale, with diamond being a 10. Outside of industrial applications this is a totally insignificant difference. This reads like the other criticisms of moissanite I've read where people claim that it is "too shiny" making it look too much like a diamond you couldn't possibly afford and therefore giving away it's identity.
