We've done this before, but help me out: Moissanite vs. Diamond

So after a heart breaking football loss yesterday, Bob and I decided to pick our spirits up and look at rings again. I told him about Moissanite because I had seen it mentioned on the boards around here and we looked it up. 

We found a website we really liked (<--Clicky) and browsed for a while, then went on a hunt around Houston to find a Moissanite to actually look at. We only found one place and Bob really liked the way the stone looked. 

Question 1: Has anyone dealt with this website before? It only has two negative reviews that we could find in the interwebz, but I'm not an online buyer, so it makes me nervous.

Question 2: Do you have a Moissanite ring/pic of a ring that I could see? 

Question 3: I really don't think there is a quality difference. Agree or disagree and why?

Btw, these are the top three I decided on: Clicky 1, Clicky 2, Clicky 3

ETA: This may be a P&R. I'll be able to write back in a few hours!

    I got my ring from MoissaniteCo.  I had no problems with them.  Here is mine.


    It all depends on what you like.  Moissanite has more fire than a diamond.  Some people might not like that.  In some lights, my ring can have a faint greenish tint to it.

    If you order a ring sizer from Moissanite Co., they will send you a coupon for 5% off any purchase.
    I'm not good at feelings.

    I haven't dealt with Moissanite before (my engagement ring is a violet sapphire) but I have definitely considered buying some moissanite jewelry. I also heard that MoissaniteCo is very reliable. And btw I love Choice #2... beautiful.

    I have moissanite as well. I absolutely love it, and will never buy diamond jewelery again. I get tons of compliments on how sparkly it is because there is a lot more fire to it. It depends on what you like about diamonds and what you don't as well.

    I really like options #1 and #2, personally I hate #3.

    Obviously that is my ring below, and here is one of it on my hand:

    My ring is a moissanite.  I don't have any pictures on this computer, but I'll try to post some later.

    I got the center stone from moissaniteco and was very happy with their service.  I got my ring made custom by an independent jeweler,t hough.

    There's definitely a significant difference between moissanite and diamond, but I think I agree that it's not a "quality" difference.  I'm really happy with our decision.
