[[15edo|15]] (aka 24edt) - Very interesting for [[blackwood]], [[porcupine]], and others. A good all-around EDO. If you want to internalize [[Porcupine intervals|porcupine interval categories]], use 15edo.

[[16edo|16]] (aka 25edt) - [[Mavila]]/armodue; those Italians love it. Really versatile and interesting - if you don't mind the lack of reasonable 3/2s. On the other hand you can treat it as an all-encompassing gamelan EDO where the beating fifths are an advantage. (The one advantage it has over 9edo in this respect is its slendro approximation, [[gorgo]].)

[[17edo|17]] (aka [[27edt]]) - Really good no-5's system; [[suprapyth]], [[bleu]], etc. The lack of 5-limit harmony forces you to think xenharmonically, but the nice accurate 3/2s form a solid familiar backbone you can depend on when things get too crazy.

[[18edo|18]] - Almost totally useless.
[[18edo|18]] - Almost totally useless.
[[19edo|19]] (aka 30edt) - First EDO with a meantone diatonic scale (5L2s proper), but not only meantone! [[Negri]] is awesome, [[godzilla]] is awesome, [[sensi]] is awesome, and [[keemun]] and [[magic]] are both quite interesting. Excellent EDO to promote to newcomers because it works beautifully with standard meantone notation and familiar meantone harmony is possible, but again, it's so much more than meantone. Xenharmonic scales and comma pumps abound.
