Yes, that is also a perfectly valid approach for the product family. A brand is actually just a named container for tradeable objects that "somehow" belong together (they need not serve similar functionality - a pair of Hepp Research mountaineering gloves and a Hepp Research canoe might belong to the same brand, even if they are very different types of products).

The good thing about schema:brand is that you can attach logos and URLs and text to the entity.
