Default Oil pressure readings w/ real gauge?

Has anyone got real oil pressure readings from mechanical aftermarket gauges and not the factory piece. I have a SLP pump w/ the blue spring and get 40-50 cold idle and 26 at hot idle. Rises accordingly w/ rpm's. At the same time my factory gauge reads 10-15 higher at all instances. List your pump and pressures if you have a aftermarket gauge.

I have a Autometer Ultra-lite with electrical sender, no mechanical but i mean that's its in my remote oil filter return line. I see 75psi cold idle but im running 15-40 delvac oil right now until break in. I am also running an LPE high volume pump with the high pressure spring.
