80et is the first equal temperament that represents the [[19-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] [[consistent]]ly, though it barely manages to do so. Despite this, a large number of intervals in higher odd limits in the 29-prime-limit are consistent, and its patent val generally does well at approximating (29-prime-limited) harmonic series segments, such as modes 16 through 30 but especially modes 8 through 15, with inconsistencies usually caused by not cancelling the over-sharpness of compound harmonics 21, 27, 35, 45 and 49 (and their octave-equivalents), which may be seen as an interesting limitation. It achieves this much consistency because all primes in the 29-limit except 13 are sharp of just. This means it can be used as a general-purpose approximate 29-prime-limit system with a relatively manageable number of tones, with some care taken around inconsistency.

80et provides the [[optimal patent val]] for 5-limit [[diaschismic]], for 13-limit [[srutal]], and for 7-, 11- and 13-limit [[bidia]]. It is a good tuning for various temperaments in [[canou family]], especially in higher limits.
