Big John is right. I just recently bought the 2805. I was told the 985 is the exact same receiver just marketed for a different group. I think the salesman used the term "boutique" when he stated where the 985 is sold. Not sure exactly what that means. I went with the 2805 only because I could buy it locally. The 985 can be had for a little less, so I would say go for it if you order online. I think the 2805 is a great receiver.
