[[41edo]] - Approximates scales from all over the [[41edo#41edo_as_a_Universal_Tuning|world]] extremely well, due to its fifth than can be divided into two parts to generate neutral scales and approximate Arabic Maqamat, into three parts to generate a decent Slendro, or into four parts to approximate classical Thai music, as well as a Mavila for Pelog. It also has an extremely accurate fifth for Pythagorean pentatonic scales and limmas, which are very useful for some Asian cultures, and a great 5-limit near JI for Western and Carnatic music, the latter of which also has Magic[22] as an option, and the former of which has a 5/4 just flat enough to double as a third for Turkish Rast, and provide footing for a solid approximation of Turkish Makam. Beyond this use, its temperaments aren't anything to write home about, and its size is very unwieldy.

[[58edo]] - First to be consistent to 17 and distinct to 11, with decent tuning all the way through. Also has thirds of every reasonably common type.

[[72edo]] - Excellent 11-limit and consistent to 17, really the furthest I could ever justify going, but I wouldn't bother.
