To my ear, music that stays within a few cents of JI is much more
beautiful than music that succumbs to thirds 14 or 16 cents distant
from JI. I also find 7-limit dominant 7ths (with the 7th almost 1/3
semitone flatter than 12-tET) to be wonderfully haunting and longing.
They make 12-tET dom 7ths and 5-limit dom 7ths sound like mono,
rather than stereo, to my ears.

That said, I would not rule out ANY tuning for making great music.
There are many on this list who work far away from JI.
