19: Due to the flat tendency of the system, melody seems to have a feeling that is hard to describe, that you can't replicate with 12edo. So far my biggest issue is that the minor seconds are too wide.

22: The diatonic scale sounds even brighter than in 17, with thirds and sixths having a more obvious septimal flavor. ~~I actually do not feel like the~~ diatonic semitone is ~~too small, though I have made very~~ little ~~pieces to test it in various aspects~~, ~~so I may change my mind~~.

22: The diatonic scale sounds even brighter than in 17, with thirds and sixths having a more obvious septimal flavor. The diatonic semitone is a little smaller than ideal, but still usable.

31: TBA

41: ~~Chords are~~ quite ~~consonant~~, and ~~this system seems to do well in approximating up to~~ the ~~11-limit. It~~ is ~~a bit complex, however~~.

41: While this EDO has be cited as good for approximating JI, it has quite a few problems. For example, 5/4 is too flat, and 7/4 is too flat. In general pental and septimal intervals are too far from their nearest pythagorean intervals, as the comma step is over 29 cents.

53: ~~TBA~~

53: Excellent 5- and 7-limit harmonies. 5/4 is now only slightly flat, and the 7/4 is a bit sharp. Chords are significantly more consonant than in 41. Definitely would recommend.
