I think the 3-digit ones were steel and the 4-digit ones aluminum.
-20's (420, 520, 620, 720) were touring, -60's (560, 660, 760) were racing.

+1 3 digits are steel, four digits aluminum. And then they mucked it all up by recycling the same model numbers, for example, the 720 started as a top of the line touring bike in the 1980s, then reappeared in the 1990s as a basic hybrid.
