Is Ludwig's Holy Blade better than Saw Cleaver?

Saw Cleaver gets that bonus against beasts, but even at +10 with 27.2% blood gems on each slot, it's over 100 damage short of Ludwig's Holy Blade. Even with the 20% boost to beasts, the damage was still 60-something short, I believe. Edit: Also, LHB transform attacks don't really matter unless you're in PvP.
