Have you looked in the customisati0on guide: http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Defining_new_units_and_unit_groups
and http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Adding_a_new_observation_type which give the 'recommended' way of adding new groups and observation types. I think the station type model is only used for the weewx database/map whilst the template hardware tag appears to give the station_type field (which is FineOffsetUSB). Have you tried $station.hardware.model to see if it will extract the model from within the fineoffset section? just a thought and possibly no help at all!!!!
