Seeking Advice on 401k:

In my previous company, I had vanguard for my 401k and after leaving the company, I opened up an rollover IRA with vanguard. Now, my current company’s 401k is with Merrill lynch. I was wondering if I should transfer the funds from vanguard in to Merrill lynch and keep both in to one account. Any advice on this? Does it make sense to consolidate them ?
