*[[26edo|26]]: A stack of [[7/4]]. Meantone but tuned terribly. Incomplete [[130edo]].

*[[27edo|27]]: Worse than both 12- and 22edo for 5-limit. Its fifth sucks and its diatonic scale makes little sense. When I hear its ~[[10:12:15]] chord I feel the fifth is obviously off. I have listened to both 22edo and 27edo and I feel the former is better. It is distinct in 7-limit tho, but that is like thinking 0.1 is better represented as 1 than 0. There are beatings here and there. It really needs compression. The fact that [[53edo]] is good indicates that 26- and 27edo are probably bad.

*[[27edo|27]]: Worse than both 12- and 22edo for 5-limit. Its fifth sucks and its diatonic scale makes little sense. When I hear its ~[[10:12:15]] and ~[[6:7:9]] chord I feel the fifth is obviously off. I have listened to both 22edo and 27edo and I feel the former is better. It is distinct in 7-limit tho, but that is like thinking 0.1 is better represented as 1 than 0. There are beatings here and there. It really needs compression. The fact that [[53edo]] is good indicates that 26- and 27edo are probably bad.

*...

*[[31edo|31]]: Ideal for pure-octave [[meantone]], combining lots of 11-limit extensions in a single tuning. The meantone flat fifth makes its neutral thirds close to [[11/9]] (tho there is the JI subgroup problem since 11 and 9 themselves are not so close). Also [[valentine]] and [[miracle]]. IMO the best meantone EDO. For other temperaments its flat fifth may be a drawback.
