Difference between Sportsman 800 and 800 HO

I have a 2008 model, and it is designated as an 800 HO EFI. Is that just a marketing sticker on it, or is it really the same as a 2007 800 EFI?

The HO is claimed to have 10% more ponies and is available. My 09 800 is an HO.

I believe they tuned it up a little different and possibly a different cam. It definitely it putting out a few more horses tho. I'm sure someone else will chime in with what exactly was done.
