Volume between two surfaces - accuracy

When calculating a volume between two surfaces I often see a difference when making a TIN volume surface then going to surface properties - statistics TAB Volume - NET volume and the total volume I get when making a surface table with the Volume in it. The difference is sometimes more than 20% which is considerable. Which one of these two ways is the more accurate way of calculating total volume?

Yes, 20% means there's a serious issue. Can you post your drawing?
