So perhaps a more appropriate matchup would be... say...
Victory-class Frigate VS Keldable-class Battle Cruiser?
A Victory 1 would pose a sizeable threat to a Keldabe as well but not nearly as big a one as an ISD. A Victory 1's missile capabilities can make many ships take pause and a particularly tenacious crew can cripple bigger ships even as they're about to bite it. But a Victory 1's achilles heel is space combat, which is where the Keldabe can triumph over the smaller ship.
But one should also note that the Keldabe design is effectively on the black market for th highest bidder. Anyone who wants one and can afford one can buy the plans and construct them. This means that the quality of your average Keldabe is going to be inferior to that of any Imperial Produced ship.
Mon Cals are built by master shipwrights. SDs are made by KDY. Keldabes can be made by anyone with the sufficient funds and resources. This means that the people making them are not up to KDY or Dac quality. This inferior construction can kill an otherwise quality starship design.
