If the difference is large, it means your mesh is not refined enough.
RE: Averaged Stress and Unaveraged stress?
averaged stresses then have only one value at each node, averaging the available element stresses.
averaged results are probably reasonable if there isn't much difference between the individual elements.
possibly the better thing to plot is element centroidal stress, which is an average of the element stresses.
