Thus, if "naughtiness and niceness" of higher harmonics is taken into account, 53edo looks like one of the best candidates for extending 12edo. It sounds similar to 12edo in many respects (both tunings closely match the perfect fifth, and while 53edo is not a meantone tuning, it does closely approximate Pythagorean tuning, as does 12edo). 53edo does not contain 12edo as a subset, but [[60edo|60edo]] (which is consistent as a no-elevens, no-seventeens 27 limit system) does, making that tuning a good option as well.
