Since (5/4)^2 = 225/224 * 14/9, these temperaments tend to have a relatively small complexity for 5/4. They also possess a version of the augmented triad where each third approximates either 5/4 or 9/7. Since this is a chord of meantone temperament in wide use in Western common practice harmony long before 12edo established itself as the standard tuning, it is arguably more authentic to tune it as two stacked major thirds and a diminished fourth, which is what it is in meantone, than as the modern version of three stacked very sharp major thirds. | Since (5/4)^2 = 225/224 * 14/9, these temperaments tend to have a relatively small complexity for 5/4.
