each gun its suposed to cover a need in the class's gameplay, withlist the tradeoff is already picking said weapon over another rather than a direct impact on the class's attributes such as giving more or less speed, etc.

but with the recent slew of weapons, do you think this really applies anymore?

Indeed.

The Amputator is literally a direct upgrade to the Bonesaw. There's no reason not to use it when not packing the Uber- or Vita-Saws.

Added to the Crossbow which can heal distant allies and hurt distant enemies, especially when you get good with it, and you get the health regeneration bonus. You'll be able to regenerate health at such a ridiculous speed that it's pretty much a matter of if you want to shoot more bullets faster.
