54edo’s approximations of 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, 11/1, 13/1, 17/1, 19/1 and 23/1 are all improved by [[38ed5/3]], a [[Octave stretch|stretched-octave]] version of 54edo. The trade-off is a slightly worse 2/1.
If one prefers a ''[[Octave shrinking|compressed-octave]]'' tuning instead, [[86edt]], [[126ed5]] and [[152ed7]] are possible choices. They improve upon 54edo’s  3/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 17/1, at the cost of its 2/1, 11/1 and 13/1.
[[40ed5/3]] is another compressed octave option. It improves upon 54edo’s 3/1, 5/1, 11/1, 13/1, 17/1 and 19/1, at slight cost to the 2/1 and 7/1. Its 2/1 is the least accurate of all the tunings mentioned in this section, though still accurate enough that it has low [[harmonic entropy]].
There are also some nearby [[Zeta peak index]] (ZPI) tunings which can be used to improve 54edo’s approximation of JI: 262zpi, 263zpi, 264zpi and 265zpi. The main Zeta peak index page details all four tunings.
