When i set my charger to storage mode it sets at 3.8v for storage. My first battery finished with 3.8v on both cells but my second finished with 3.75 and 3.78. Is this ok?

I am not sure why it stopped a bit early. But you are well within the margin of comfort. You are fine here. Just keep an eye on it (on future charges) to make sure it doesn't get more off the mark.

I would use a volt meter on the individual cells probably way more accurate reading

Good point... Chargers are always +/-. The thing to remember is that the storage state is to get the batteries to their most stable state. Which has been accepted as 3.8V. So if you are 3.7-3.9, you are way better off than many people I know who arn't even close.
It is really the extreme high voltage and low that can be damaging. (at peak charge 4.2V/Cell)
