Is there a problem with my Garmin 705?

I was just looking at my ride from yesterday and noticed that if I turn the elevation correction on, (Which uses professional survey data instead of the altimiter in the 705), That my climbing numbers are WAY different.

Here's the ride.

According to my 705 I had 3389 feet of climbing.

If I turn on the elevation correction, which I think would be more reliable, I had 4615 feet of climbing.

This is my second 705. The first one I got from Garmin the altimeter didn't work brand new out of the box. Wondering if they are not very accurate for this.
Which one is right?
