The Chainsaw is built around the idea of just being a straight-up damage powerhouse of a melee weapon. It has a bit of a longer range than the Knife, I think, if that even matters really. Rambo Knife can't destroy windows/doors/planks, meanwhile the Chainsaw just plows through them in a matter of seconds. It pretty much instantly kills anything but a Tank, and even then it's a rather deadly (but risky) weapon to use on them. It all comes down to utility over damage.

Now, as for the SPAS? Were you an avid user of the Shotgun back in your humble beginngings, and are you willing to go back to it is the question you need to ask yourself. If so, then I very much recommend it even if the price will put some off, the increased fire rate more than compensates for having to load in each shell individually (even if you had to do this with the original shotgun). The ammo pool is much bigger than the regular Shotgun and the range seems better, at most taking two shots to kill something from longer ranges. Tanks are still somewhat problematic, but if you can catch them at about halfway HP then they're done for. While I think it's no contest that people should buy the Flamethrower over the SPAS in terms of the price range, it has a certain charm to it that makes me like it quite a bit, but that's probably just because I'm a shotgun person.
