Sawed-Off VS Nova for T Side

[AimNot]

So I'm at a point where I'm choosing between Sawed-Off VS Nova for T side.
Mac-10 = $1050, Kill Reward = $600
Nova = $1050, Kill Reward = $900
Sawed-Off = $1100, Kill Reward = $900
The Nova is a more consistent shotgun than the Sawed-Off because you can kill people surprisingly far away compared to the Sawed-Off where it's basically an upgraded Zeus. Now even though the Nova is more consistent I can't really justify equipping it over the Sawed-Off because I figure the only time I'd really be buying a shotgun is if I want to hold a close angle and be guaranteed to pop the guy coming around the corner. So I guess what I'm asking is if that playstyle is correct? Should I be biased more towards economy, going for a trickier shot with the Nova or more towards going for lurky campy kills with a Sawed-Off?

It depends on how you are playing .. The weapons are nerfed to a point where it dont matter really .. the sawoff and mag 7 is kinda like an awp at close range .. 1 shot 1 kill even if hit in the torso ,... The nova used to be a long range shotgun really cool to flick some headshots with .. but the game developer dont understand the game´s core and the balance the weapon system and the movement mechanic had .. e.g. no movement penalty on regular hits .. and a quick switching that made you able to use your offhand pistol instant !

Nova is much better than sawed off. But out of 5 of those slots only 2 are mandatory (mac10 and xm), rest can be chosen very differently and you can mix it up.
