Export-VApp advanced options extra configuration

My coworkers have been having trouble with the web interface for exporting VM's for delivery to our customer so I looked into scripted method of export with PowerCLI.  I was able to put together a PowerShell script to export a VM and the Export-VApp command has a nice progress bar to show that things are still moving forward.  Alas, I discovered the way my coworker usually exports a VM through the vcenter web interface provides additional options that are not available with Export-VApp.  I confirmed that the exported OVF is missing the Extra Config that we apply as a part of security hardening.

Other options I may look into are using ovftool instead.  If there is a way to do this with PowerCLI I'm definitely interested.
