Being fairly new to access control something which has long confused me regarding the door hardware industry - why do they never seem to fully consolidate their sub-brands? Is it because when you see a Von Duprin crash bar you are more likely to call Von Duprin rather than track down the current parent company for a latch retraction kit?

Most of the hardware sited is not electronic hardware; it's electrified hardware. For example electric strikes and mag locks are electrified hardware.
Those are really two big distinctions that each have there own category.

As a A&E firm (security consultant) that writes security specs, Allegion is nice to work with for their door hardware schedule is easy to read and understand. What I wish both companies were bettter at is having spec sheets or part # that are more easy to search for.

Command Access has very nice electrified hardware to work with. I feel that they are as good or usually better then the bigger brands. Now granted they are usually taking the larger brands hardware and just modifying it.
Price is good, hardly any problems, long warranties...what's not to like.
They do a lot of OEMing so in some cases that's what you are getting when you purchase the bigger brands. So does SDC and ACSI.
