It's 1 unit lighter, has a lower strength requirement, and has better dex scaling (it'll out-damage the gargoyle's halberd on builds with dex in the mid-20s or higher). It's strictly worse (except in weight) for low-stat builds, or when upgraded to fire/lightning/chaos, however for other upgrade paths it'll do more damage once your main stat (dex/int/faith, depending on path) is high enough.
