PowerCLI weirdness around Get-SCSILun and where statement

Summary:
Using a where –eq statement against the objects provided by the Get-SCSILun either the vendor or model properties ends w/ 0 objects returned.  The following is an example:
Example:

   1: Get-VMhost myESXHost | Get-SCSILun | where {$_.Model -eq "SYMMETRIX"}

   2: Get-VMhost myESXHost | Get-SCSILun | where {$_.Vendor -eq "EMC"}

These two examples will likely return 0 results because the Model property is ALWAYS 16 characters and the Vendor property is ALWAYS 8 characters.  Each property are padded w/ spaces.  How did I figure this out?  Like this:

1: $Test = Get-VMhost myESXHost | Get-SCSILun | where {$_.Model -eq "SYMMETRIX"}

   2: $Test[0].Model.Length <-- This returns 16

   3: $Test[0].Vendor.Length <-- This returns 8

Resolution:
I suggest using –like or –match when querying against these properties.  I prefer match, but to each their own.  Like so:

1: Get-VMhost myESXHost | Get-SCSILun | where {$_.Model -match "SYMMETRIX"}

   2: Get-VMhost myESXHost | Get-SCSILun | where {$_.vendor -like "EM*"}

I also found this communities post after banging my head against the wall and figuring it out myself w/ some help from marcus:
