Den,
My opinion here may not be the most popular you will hear. Both balls have their place on the drier side however they are distinctly different.
H2O is a pearl, Chainsaw is a solid
H2O is a mild asymmetrical ball, Chainsaw is a symmetrical ball
Core designs are distinctly different.
Coverstock manufacturers are different.
Now here's the kicker.....
If you want a ball that will go long, roll and not flip then the Chainsaw is the ball.
If you want a ball that will get long and then have a stronger backend reaction, the H2O is a better option.
If you have a strong release, the Chainsaw will work better.
If you have a weaker release, the H2O will fit the bill.
In short,the Chainsaw is a weaker ball but I found my Chainsaw to be too early on true drier lanes. This led to a flat hit and horrible carry.
The H2O may very well be stronger but it can be made to go longer than the Chainsaw and it will finish and carry better as well.
