*[[5edo|5]]: Equalized [[2L 3s|pentatonic]] scale. Kinda familiar but everything is warped. The first EDO containing an interval that roughly resembles [[3/2]]. Not very noticeable harmonically.

*[[12edo|12]]: It deserves its position. A good tuning for almost all types of music, though not perfect. Very excellent [[3/2]] as well as prime [[17/1|17]] and [[19/1|19]] for its size, but inaccurate [[5/4]] and worse [[7/4]]. Suitable for symmetric scales. Easy to make [[../12neji|accurate NEJIs]]. Its 2.3.17.19 subgroup really deserves exploration.

Its 2.3.17.19 subgroup really deserves more exploration (something “xenharmonic” but not “microtonal”).

*[[27edo|27]]: Worse than both 12- and 22edo for 7-limit. It is distinct tho, but that is like thinking 0.1 is better represented as 1 than 0. The fact that [[53edo]] is good indicates that 26- and 27edo are probably bad.

*[[31edo|31]]: Ideal for pure-octave [[meantone]], combining lots of 11-limit extensions in a single tuning. Also [[valentine]]. IMO the best meantone EDO. For other temperaments its flat fifth may be a drawback.
