Default 289 vs. 302

can someone tell me what the big difference between a 289 and a 302 is? It has to be more than just those 13 cubic inches, or the 302's wouldn't have been worth making. I always hear people scoffing at a 289, but then they mention the 302 and everyone changes their tone like its sucha better engine. what makes them so different?
