Rinnegan is just another ninja tool. It's not about how good your tools are, but how you use them. That's how Sasuke was able to defeat someone with 10 minutes of Izanagi up time (Danzo) with just a regular mangekyo. Not to mention Danzo's right arm was basically a fusion of the 1st DNA with his own and if he hadn't been such a push over he could have easily beaten Sasuke.
Another example was Itachi's Amaterasu vs Sasuke's. Whenever Itachi used his it was just point and shoot, whatever it hit went up in flames. But when Sasuke used his against A, he was not only able to create the flames, but manipulate their shape into a shield AND use it on top of Susanoo.
Then there's the case of Kakashi's MS and how he can open/close space time barriers with it.
