AB: By analyzing CMEs observed by LASCO and SECCHI we can examine differences in propagation and mass that result from difference views of the same event. Observed variations in properties provide insight into several issues including the pileup of coronal mass ahead of expanding CMEs and the impact of drag between CMEs and the solar wind. In this presentation we will examine these properties for several CMEs. At lower heights, these events are observed by the coronagraphs in all three satellites (SOHO, STEREO-A, and STEREO-B). When possible, these events are traced to larger heights with the STEREO Heliographic Imagers (HI-1 and HI-2) on STEREO-A and -B.
