I agree, with some differences here and there. If we're talking about the 7-A Aio, he doesn't have a full power Merroda to begin with, right? His personality keeps him from going fully lethal to his absolute best, so he's already holding back. If we're changing this to the Tier 6 versions of these characters, we've got a whole different fight on our hands. Roland, when using Shikai, should be able to blitz Aio with speed and raw power (Roland would be Sub-Relativistic and have At least Island level attacking power). Whether or not Aio is truly holding back makes all the difference, unless we're talking about a Tier 6 Aio that's holding back against a Hollow Roland, in which case we're back to square one. If that's the case, I'd say they'd be pretty even until Roland managed to push Aio into getting a bit more serious and eventually taking Roland down. I guess my conclusion is this: if we're talking Tier 6 Aio vs Tier 6 Roland, Roland wins. He doesn't stomp, and it's definitely not an easy fight, but he wins. If its an Aio that's capable of Tier 6, but is holding back any killing blows to be 7-A against a 7-A Roland with a Hollow Mask, then I do agree that Aio takes it. Either way, this is one hell of a fight.
