LR Power imbalance: Me or meter?

I recently purchased a LR power meter–I've had a left only on 3 of my bikes before this, and they've given consistent ratings. My first ride on the new one produced much lower power ratings. There seemed to be something wrong, and they sent me a new one. Same things' happening. In both cases, the meter is reading about 65-35 for balance. (65 left, 35 right) I have never had an accident or noticed my legs being much different in strength. I know that SOME imbalance is very common, but 65/35 seems extreme. What I'd like to know is how likely it is that this is my true balance versus the power meter (which is a new product; won't name companies).

If I'm truly that lopsided, is there anything I can/should do?

Also if anyone has suggestions about how to resolve this question, I'd appreciate the advice.
