A "beat-ific" circulating 22 note scale

Here is a circulating 22 note scale derived from the (-1,5) tuning of
the 50/49 temperament, which is a sort of modified pajara. The (-1,5)
beat list leads to what look to be pretty good beat ratios; Scala will
analyze that for you if you ask nicely. Below that I include erlich10,
a detempered Erlich pajara scale which is then retempered. If anyone
tunes this up I'd like to hear what they think. Do the beat ratios
contribute anything?
