Have you tried the 11 from 20 subset

0 2 4 6 8 9 11 13 15 17 19 (0
??
or as differences?

Yes, I did quite a bit of experimenting with these a while back.

The way I saw it, this was a 2,9 scale with a narrow fifth generator
in a 1D lattice space and a 2,2,7 scale with a neutral third, narrow
fifth generator in a 2D lattice space.

If you were to use a Fibonacci interpretation you'd have a 658.6163
generator with a 27.6748 comma in 1DLS (a sort of generalized
Pythagorean comma):

0 117 234 352 469 541 659 776 893 1010 1128 1200
0 117 234 352 424 541 659 776 893 1010 1083 1200
0 117 234 307 424 541 659 776 893 966 1083 1200
0 117 190 307 424 541 659 776 848 966 1083 1200
0 72 190 307 424 541 659 731 848 966 1083 1200
0 117 234 352 469 586 659 776 893 1010 1128 1200
0 117 234 352 469 541 659 776 893 1010 1083 1200
0 117 234 352 424 541 659 776 893 966 1083 1200
0 117 234 307 424 541 659 776 848 966 1083 1200
0 117 190 307 424 541 659 731 848 966 1083 1200
0 72 190 307 424 541 614 731 848 966 1083 1200

If you were to use a Tribonacci interpretation you'd have a 348.8799,
661.4379 generator with a 19.7478 comma in 2DLS--as well as a
generalized 36.3218 minor chroma and a 56.0696 major chroma:

0 123 246 349 472 539 661 784 887 1010 1133 1200
0 123 226 349 416 539 661 765 887 1010 1077 1200
0 103 226 293 416 539 642 765 887 954 1077 1200
0 123 190 313 435 539 661 784 851 974 1097 1200
0 67 190 313 416 539 661 728 851 974 1077 1200
0 123 246 349 472 595 661 784 907 1010 1133 1200
0 123 226 349 472 539 661 784 887 1010 1077 1200
