many guitarist who have 2 cabinets delay one side. I think 7 or 9 milliseconds is popular. I believe the only reason for this is to make 1 guitar player sound much bigger and to create a stereo image. I wouldn't worry about the imbalances. Duplicating the same track left & right is nothing more than a mono signal. A short delay will give it a slight offset which is good. That is the factor that makes it stereo. It's better to record a double so that there aren't phase issues, but I wouldn't worry about the imbalances. If you notice, that is the case on a lot of rock records.
