If the number means a higher model number and more features, I wonder why they have a model number lower such as the AVR-989 compared to a higher number model number like the AVR-1609 which is much cheaper.

The AVR-1609 has the high model and lower price, while the AVR-989 is a low model but cost much more.

I guess I'm thinking too much into this and also making convo in the forum.
The 989 is basically the same as the 2809 w/o the remote for the second zone and probably no RS-232 connector on the back. The 1609 is much farther down the food chain than the 989 so that is why it costs less. The four digit models are typically in high-end stores and the three digit models are in places like Circuit City (...gone now so I don't know where).
