I wouldn't really expect King Ghidorah's gravity rays to do that much more damage than Godzilla's atomic ray could (at least individually - if all 3 are focused on a single spot at once, they could do a good bit of damage). After all, King Caesar hit Mechagodzilla with its own rays (absorbed through the forehead and fired back through his own eyes) and Mechagodzilla seemed to shake them off easily enough after being hit a couple times (and learned not to rely on them by switching to missiles).

I'd say one advantage Mechagodzilla I has is the fact that it's adept at fighting at both long and close range whereas King Ghidorah has usually been more of a long range opponent relying on his gravity rays to take down opponents and if they get close, he either tries to knock them away or fly away to gain distance again (he has no arms after all). Mechagodzilla is surprisingly agile and was able to dodge the third time King Caesar fired its rays back at it, then beat the crap out of him hand-to-hand when you'd think an ape-like living opponent like King Caesar would have an advantage against a machine (even Mifune, in Terror of Mechagodzilla, brought that up as an "advantage" if Titanosaurus were to fight Mechagodzilla, that "Mechagodzilla is just a machine" and that he "has brains, he's alive").
