There are a couple significant differences between this hand and the other one.

This hand: 89o on a Q94 flush draw board
Other hand: JTs on a QT7 flush draw board

Difference #1: No backdoor flush draw this time
Difference #2: Backdoor straight draw needs to hit two inside cards this time
Difference #3: Backdoor straight draw brings hero to an idiot straight this time
Difference #4: 1 of 5 villains (20%) have acted in this hand as opposed to 3 of 7 (42%) villains in the other (including a check and a fold)
Difference #5: Extra BB in the pot due to the two extra preflop limpers (33% bigger pot)

They're not the same. This is a pretty safe fold. The other is an okay peel if the players behind are passive.
