Get-HVMachineSummary more than one 'state' value

I need something simple.

I have the command Get-HVMachineSummary. I need the "-state" parameter to get more than one value. ie: I need to see the vms that are in AVAILABLE or PROVISIONED state and count them.

I tried something with the command below

(Get-HVMachineSummary -PoolName $pool -state (PROVISIONED or AVAILABLE)).count

When you use the State parameter, you can only specify one value.
But you can get all states and then filter

(Get-HVMachineSummary -PoolName $pool | where { 'PROVISIONED', 'AVAILABLE' -contains $_.State }).count

Something is not correct ...

PS C:\> (Get-HVMachineSummary -PoolName $pool).count

337

PS C:\> Get-HVMachineSummary -PoolName $pool -State PROVISIONED

My bad, that should probably be $_.Status instead of $_.State
