I haven't noticed 1988 prices averaging higher than 5" 1989 pre-MIM or even 5" 1989 pre-lock prices. 3" 1989 prices are considerably higher than 1988 prices. I think all the 3" .45 ACP 625s are pre-MIM. 5 inchers sell for a little more than 4 inchers when everything else is equal because 5 inchers were discontinued.
My first choice in a 5" is a 1989 625-4 because only dash 4s combine forged hammers & triggers with the modern optics mounting set up. However, that doesn't make dash 4s worth any more. Other folks prefer different vintages for their own reasons.

The "Model of 1989" barrel marking continues through current production so it covers both frame and hammer mounted firing pins.
