The minor third is sat between 6/5 and [[32/27]], giving it a mildly dark sound that is quite apt for the diminished tetrad. It's a powerful minor third, but without the [[5-limit]] resonance of 6/5. Overall, a great minor third.

I'd say this edo is on equal footing with 3edo. You could certainly argue that it's better than 3edo, considering it contains two interlocked instances of 2edo, as well as an extra note. This seems like a convincing case for 4edo, but I personally think that augmented triads are more interesting than diminished tetrads in isolation. It's really all about taste, as is everything in the world of xenharmony.

By the way, you won't be seeing F tier for a while after this. These first four edos are honestly just memes, so no amount of good things I say about them can eke them out of F tier. Now, on to the edos people actually care about.
