As the step size of 159edo is simultaneously above the average peak [http://musictheory.zentral.zone/huntsystem2.html#2 JND] of human pitch perception and small enough to be well within the margin of error between Just 5-limit intervals and their [[12edo]] counterparts, 159edo offers a decent balance between allowing the possibility of seamless modulation to keys that are not in the same series of fifths, and not having so many steps as to have individual steps blend completely into one another. Thus it can be said that 159edo falls in what can perhaps be considered the ideal range for a Mega-EDO in terms of possible musical functionality. | As the step size of 159edo is simultaneously above the average peak [http://musictheory.zentral.zone/huntsystem2.html#2 JND] of human pitch perception and small enough to be well within the margin of error between Just 5-limit intervals and their [[12edo]] counterparts, 159edo offers a decent balance between allowing the possibility of seamless modulation to keys that are not in the same series of fifths, and not having so many steps as to have individual steps blend completely into one another.
