17: The diatonic scale has a septimal flavor to it, with major thirds sounding nothing like 12edo ones. The minor second is the perfect size melodically, though it may take a while to get used to it.

41: Chords are quite consonant, and this system seems to do well in approximating up to the 11-limit. It is a bit complex, however.
