Reading this pair
Same name, different measurement. Both brands call this finish Satin and both publish it at 60°, so this is a direct like-for-like reading, and the ranges still do not overlap.
Behr’s Satin finishes are the closest in Behr’s lineup to Aura Satin, so if you are staying with the name you are not far off. But a gap of a few gloss units is a published difference, not rounding, and Behr’s next-closest finish is further away again. Whether a gap this small is visible on a wall depends on color, light and application, which data sheets cannot tell you. Read it as “close, slightly flatter”, not “the same”.
Going the other way, the same two ranges give the same gap with the direction reversed: Aura Satin is the slightly glossier of the two. Which Benjamin Moore finish is closest to a Behr Satin depends on which Benjamin Moore line you look at; the second table shows both.

Read from the other direction
People ask this both ways. The two finishes' published ranges give the same overlap or gap either way; what can differ is which finish ranks first in the other brand's lineup, because an overlap is scored against the narrower of the two ranges. Starting from Behr Marquee Satin and looking into Benjamin Moore's lineup, the closest published finish is Benjamin Moore Regal Select Pearl, a different finish from the one on this page. The shared span is 5 gloss units.
| Finish | 60° range | Relationship to Behr Marquee Satin |

| Regal Select Pearl | 20–30 | Strong overlap 5 gloss units shared — closest published match |
| Aura Satinthis page's pairing | 28–38 | Nearest range, no overlap 3 gloss units glossier at the nearest edge |
