Dash trans temp calculates on pressure whereas a tapped pan/aftermarket gauge is an actual thermometer if you will

They read from the same place; pressure switch manifold heat sensor. This sensor will be reading some heat sink as it is bolted to the valve body. With an aftermarket sensor reading fluid temp from the pan your temps will read lower.
