Query for users without a primary device assigned (through automatic affinity or manually assigned)

Question

I'm looking for either a way to query or a view of a collection that will show me a list of users who do not have a primary device affinity established.  Vise versa might work as well- query for devices that don't have primary users assigned. 
Any ideas?
Thank you,

Using SCCM's PowerShell cmdlets, you can run something like this:
$Devices = Get-CMDevice
$FinalOutput = @()
$Devices | % {
$OutputObject = New-Object PSObject -Property @{
Device = $_.Name
LastUser = $_.UserName
LastClientCheckTime = $_.LastClientCheckTime
PrimaryUser = (Get-CMUserDeviceAffinity -DeviceName $_.Name).UniqueUserName
$FinalOutput += $OutputObject
$FinalOutput | export-csv $env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\ConfigMgrAffinityReport.csv -NoTypeInformation
#End
Which creates an output like the below.  
Once you have these items joined, its easy to filter out those without a Primary User.
e.g.
$FinalOutput | ? {$_.PrimaryUser -ne $null}
