The 72-et version of miracle really only dominates in the 11-limit. If we look at the convergents to the rms optimal secor, we find that
175 is the next convergent beyond 72 for the 5 and 7 limits, and 113
(and beyond that 298) are the next convergents in the primary 13-limit version of miracle. For the alternative 13-limit miracle, 72 is not even a convergent! We have however 113 and beyond that, 267. It would seem 175 and 113 have a place at the table.

if i recall correctly, graham's program originally spat out the
denominator 113 for the miracle generator.
