Yes I fully understand the main reason for an aftermarket pan. I am not an idiot unlike many people around here like to think. At $300+ for a pan ( the price most of them I have seen) it is not nearly as effective as a cooler with a fan.
Therfore it seems like waisted money in my eyes. That is why I asked. If you can get a pan around $100 it makes much more sense. The added strength is also a good point.

The aftermarket 4L80-E pan I have been using for years is TCI. The bottom of the pan is flat and wide making it much easier to stay on the jack than a 4L80-E with an OEM pan. That stock pan has all sorts of weird angles on the bottom and a small footprint of flat level area.
I also second the magnetic drain plug.
I will say this - take that stupid cork gasket the aftermarket pans come with and throw that POS away. Reuse the OEM o-ring style grommeted rigid gasket - FAR superior.

So here's the way I see it.
If your running a stock trans with 200K miles on it, 300 bucks for a deep pan is a bit of a waste...lipstick on a pig as it were.
If your running a $5000+ performance rebuild...a high stall Converter, etc...I would opt for the extra insurance how ever I could get it....Pan, cooler, what ever you could put in there.
Even on a newish stock trans....heat kills...get rid of it.
They come with all the aforementioned upgrades like drain bung, magnetic drain plug, temp probe bung. I mean having a drain plug in your pan is a god send...that right there is worth 300 bucks.

People are missing the point. A large cooler with a fan will never let trans temps get past 150 set it up.
The answer to my question is that regardless of the coat a deep pans number one use is added cooling. You can put a drain plug in a stock pan for $20 or less.
Seems the only benefit aside from a little extra safety for cooling is it can add some strength to the case.
This wasn't a hard question but as always people get absolutely rediculous when responding.
