Makes sense to me that Shinki would better than pre-Shippuden Gaara. Shinki has natural power AND is being trained by Gaara. Gaara basically always relied on his own power. People were too afraid to get close so I can't imagine he received as much formal training. Everything we saw of him at that time showed him relying on instinct and bloodlust.
