The simplest Hexany comprised entirely out of prime numbers, offset by the simplest possible interval which produces no repeated notes. This creates a scale of 1 21/20 11/10 7/6 77/60 11/8 7/5 3/2 33/20 7/4 11/6 77/40 2/1, with steps of 21/20 22/21 35/33 11/10 15/14 56/55 15/14 11/10 35/33 22/21 21/20 80/77. As the base hexany has a large gap on one side, offsetting by any interval near 600 cents fills that with a minimum of overlapping notes. Doing so by 3/2 obviously means there are 6 notes with perfect fifths above them, including 2 each of 5-limit major and minor chords, giving you plenty of stable places to root your music even if there are no conventional circle of fifth based chord progressions.
