New and previously existing photometric colors and spectroscopic H and He line strengths are used to compare CV disk systems below the period gap (P=80-130 min) with those directly above (P=190-240 min). Significant differences are found in the mean U-B, V-J colors and in the H-beta equivalent widths on the two sides of the gap. A detailed comparison from UV-IR of 3 high inclination novalike systems with periods near 3.3 hr (PG1012-029, PG1030 + 590 and V1315 Aql) shows similar continuum distributions (and implied mass accretion rates) but large differences in high excitation lines (He III 640 A and 4686 A; C IV 1550 A).
