87edo accurately approximates the mode 8 of [[harmonic series]], and the only intervals not distinct are 14/13 and 15/14. It does mode 16 fairly decent, with the only anomaly at 28/27 (4 steps) and 29/28 (5 steps).  
87edo accurately approximates the mode 8 of [[harmonic series]], and the only interval pair not distinct is 14/13 and 15/14. It can also do mode 12 decently.
