Is my old or new voltage regulator bad?

I put in a new Powermaster 95 amp alternator and was advised to replace my old electromechanical VR to a new solid state one. I did that, but first, checked my voltage at the battery with the old one. I got 14.6 volts while running. Replaced with the new VR and now get 12.9 volts at the battery while running. Weird thing is I get the same voltage out of both of them going into the bulkhead fitting. I get 14+ volts on both going in, but not at the battery. I will bypass the ammeter when my new gauge cluster shows up. Does it have something to do with my voltage difference? Thanks
