The next low-numbered triad after 4:5:6 with a 3/2 on the outside is 6:7:9, but its inversion, 14:18:21, can sound extremely dissonant. On the other hand, you also have 10:13:15, which is another standout triad of low complexity with a fifth on the outside, but its inversion, 26:30:39, is also relatively complex. Tempering out 91/90 makes both of these problems disappear by connecting the two together, such that the utonal inverse of 6:7:9 becomes 10:13:15. Hence, you end up with a tonal system that relates and connects two of the most xenharmonic triads in existence (at least those with 3/2 on the outside). 91/90 tempering thus enriches septimal harmony by increasing the concordance of its utonalities.
The next low-numbered triad after 4:5:6 with a 3/2 on the outside is 6:7:9, but its inversion, 14:18:21, can sound extremely dissonant to those not used to 9-limit harmony.

The rank-3 biome temperament is of particular theoretical interest because it generates a rank-3 lattice that is analogous to the 5-limit JI lattice. As 5-limit JI is the basis for which all 5-limit linear temperaments are derived, the rank-3 biome temperament can serve as a basis to derive useful 2.3.7.13/5 linear temperaments. Instead of our base triads being 4:5:6 and its utonal inversion 10:12:15, we instead treat 6:7:9 and its utonal inversion 10:13:15 as fundamental to the system. The three dimensions of the system can be thought of as 2/1, 3/2, and 7/6 (or 9/7, or 13/10). 46-EDO is a great tuning for biome, giving nearly-pure harmonies all around, somewhat analogous to the accuracy of 34-EDO or 53-EDO in approximating 5-limit JI.
