: '''ArrowHead''': Criminally underrated and underutilised for what it is. Fifths are very bright and shimmery but not wolf-like~~, though the 222.2 ¢ greater major second~~ is ~~about the widest the major whole tone can be pushed before it starts sounding neutral~~. Its major thirds are familiar and ~~minor thirds are much more~~ forgiving than 22edo, and it has a very good 13th harmonic. Overall a great place to explore xenharmony.

: '''ArrowHead''': Basically the opposite of meantone (specifically [[19edo]]) when it comes to 5 vs. 7 (you find 7/6 in places where you'd normally expect 6/5 and 9/7 where you'd expect 5/4). Criminally underrated and underutilised for what it is. Fifths are very bright and shimmery but not wolf-sounding like 5edo is. Its 5-limit minor and major thirds are more familiar and forgiving than 22edo, and it has a very good 13th harmonic. Overall a great place to explore xenharmony with temperaments like Tetracot.

: '''Aura''': Not going to lie, given how underexplored this EDO is, I felt it necessary to try working with a 159edo-based retuning of it. Judging from my experience with that, it should suffice to say that working with Superlocrian in this EDO is another interesting experience.

: '''Bozu''': Comte hyperpent. Another one with tons of usable tonal possibilities that seems to get little actual use.
