They're currently boxed into object, and those two objects are not the same object, which means == fails. If you unbox them to int, then it will succeed:

(int)model.value == (int)model.metadata.Model // true

Or you could call Equals which should work:

model.value.Equals(model.metadata.Model) // true

== Operator Only if operands are Value Types and their values are equal, it returns true else false

C# difference between==and .Equals()
