900 is the better bar and sub. But you would need to buy rears separately.
990 and 900 are the same bar and sub but 900 doesn't have rears included. You can get the 9500 rears from Best Buy for $120. They are not as good as the rears from the 990 (which have 3 speakers each instead of 2) but they are better than the 9200 (which only have 1 each)
910 and 800 are same bar and sub but the 910 has 2 more speakers than the 800 and has the 9200 rears (smaller and no up firing compared to the 9500s)
Below are the specs from their user manuals on Samsung's site. The Q990C and Q900C show the same for the Bar and Sub. The Q910C and Q800C are almost identical with the only difference being the Q800C has 2 less 20 W in the bar output.

Ceiling speakers are ideal but you can get Atmos sound with upfiring speakers. If you have two in the front and two behind you in a smaller room with a flat reflective ceiling you will hear Atmos sound.

Why 990c is 11.1.4 and 900c is 7.1.2. Main unit on 990 c has 11 chanells and 900 has 7 chanells

That's not correct. The main soundbars on both the 990 and the 900 have 7 base channels - they are identical. The rears that come with the 990 add 4 base channels. That's why the 990 has 11.x.x while the 900 has 7.x.x.

Talked to samsung and they confirmed that 900c soundbar has less chanells. I guess you have to compare them side by side all these numbers are confusing

Do the math. Samsung says the 900C has 7 base channels (7.1.2) in the soundbar. If the 990C soundbar had more than 7 base channels, and then you add the 4 base channels from the surrounds, wouldn't you get more than 11 channels total? But, Samsung clearly says the 990C has 11 base channels (11.1.4). They gave you obviously wrong information. Please don't spread that further on SD.
Is there a big difference practically between the q900 and q990?
The soundbar and the subwoofer are identical. The only difference is the rear satellites that come with the 990C (4.0.2). You can get close to the 990C by adding the SWA-9500 wireless rear speakers (2.0.2) to the 900C. They may still be available from Best Buy[bestbuy.com] for $129 (when ordered in-store). That's the set up I have now, and it sounds great to me.
