1980's Schwinn Road Bike Hierarchy

Can anyone remember the hierarchy of the Schwinn line-up in the late 1980's? I'm pretty sure the Paramount was at the top, followed by the Circuit, then the Prelude and Tempo (not sure of the order there) and eventually bikes like the World Sport.

I'm particularly interested in the position of the Tempo, and if it was a step up, or a step down from the Prelude. I spontaneously bought a Tempo from eBay a few days ago, and since it has not yet arrived I've been trying to learn a little more about it on the internet but haven't found much.

Thanks for your help!
