@BBFFan...
Why do you think separate sites are a better idea? Directory style sites get tons of authority, and quite often get preferential treatment in the eyes of the big G. The individual page gets it's own seo and silo structure, linking out to other "contained" pages, keeps juice within the site, and because the "authority" site, which is the main website name, is garnering SEO strength from every page that follows, that name, in the results, gets better ranking power.
I have been able to find nothing definitive that says that an individual site gets preference over a page within a directory, as long as the on-page and off-page SEO are the same. In fact, just the opposite.
If you don't believe me, do a search on Google. If there are related pages contained on a directory site, they almost always get higher billing, and while we, ourselves, might ignore those sites and go on to the next one, the general "buying" public doesn't, which is why Big-G ranks them higher in their algorithms. If it was the other way around, Google would change their algos and automatically rank them lower.
