No antenna when modeled with Eznec needs a matching device to show the results of gain etc. A matching network as far as I am aware doesnt effect radiation patterns of antennas, if you think it does then maybe Jay's hairpin does more than what you think it does, if you say his hairpin does nothing but provide a match then we are in agreement that a matching network is not needed for an accurate model, knowing how the program works is more important for modeling accuracy.
