Differences in Performance Between Simulink and Matlab FIRs

I am building a BPSK recovery system in Simulink, with the end goal of using the HDL coder to implement it on an FPGA.
I designed the algorithm in MATLAB first, and it works fine. However, translating it to Simulink is giving me trouble.
One of my first steps is to filter my data, which I implemented in MATLAB as
filfir2=fir1(100,[0.000001 8e6/Fs*2]); % Fs=30e6
data = filter(filfir2,1,data); %where data is the raw signal
Implementing the same thing in Simulink however, using the Digital Filter Designer (a 100 tap Hamming window direct form FIR with the same cutoff parameters, resulting in the same Bode plot), gives very different results with the same data:
The orange trace is the data filtered through the Simulink block, and the blue trace is the data filtered through Matlab and brought into Simulink with a From Workspace block.
I also tried
1) Importing my Simulink filter into Matlab and using it in Matlab before sending the filtered data to Simulink
2) Importing my Matlab filter (as a dffir block) into Simulink
Both performed identically to the original Matlab filter (i.e the blue trace).
I am wondering if there is a sample time issue or something where the actual simulation is what's causing the issue?
Thanks!

I suggest using the the Discrete FIR Filter block with the coefficients you used for MATLAB. If that works, it is the easiest way forward, including for HDL code generation.

That is exactly what I did the first time as my default option. However, the results were the same as I displayed above.

Could you please pass along a complete script that runs?
I think Fs=30e6 from your comments, but I do not have data defined.

Attached is a model where I have taken your coefficients and ran them through fitler and the FIR Filter block. The numbers seem pretty close.
x = randn(1024,1);
Fs=30e6;
filfir2=fir1(100,[0.000001 8e6/Fs*2]);
y = filter(filfir2,1,x);
out = sim('fir_filter_model_18a');
y2 = out.simout.Data(:);
max(abs(y-y2))
figure
plot(y,'y')
hold on
plot(y2,'--r')
hold off

Sorry for very late response.
Attached is a zip containing the simulink model and a comparison to the matlab filter I used, as well as the data I am using.
I am also unable to download the simulink model you attached? Clicking on it links me to a page of unintelligible garbage instead of downloading the model.

I will take a look at your model.
Right click on my model and chosse teh Save Target as option to download the model.

Part of the problem as well is that the data I am using is a signed 12 bit integer, and when I filter it in simulink, the filter output obviously saturates at the limits of that datatype since the filter has no gain.
While I now understand why the filter was saturating in Simulink, I still don't know why the one in Matlab worked out.

I had a hidden factor of 3 in my simulink model (Fs vs Ts) that screwed everything up. Actually making the sample rates equal made everything work (since the normalized cutoffs are now actually the same)
Thanks for all the help
