I'll start. Dia-Compe was capable of maintaining 8-10 or more different models of brake calipers and levers of each type at the same time, For callpers, the higher the number, the more substantial, to a point. Their best and very good levers look and feel wonderful. Grand Compe and Royal were at the top of the heap.

A Kansas-based seller of NOS gear, nice couple who spare no text in describing and comparing within and across mfgs in their ebay listings tells all for the Dia-Compe products he has on hand.
