No, Moray is a graphical modeller for Windows which uses POV as the renderer.
What you're thinking of is MegaPOV. I'm not sure how "official" it has to be for
you to trust it; the isosurfaces are certainly functional, but there is no
guarantee that the next official version of POV will incorporate or maintain
backwards compatibility with any of its features (although it will indeed
support isosurfaces in some form or another).
The isosurface algorithm will produce good quality results in most cases, if you
know how to use it. Gigantic pictures may or may not be a problem, depending on
the complexity of your isosurface.

One place to find Linux source and binaries for MegaPOV 0.7 is
