Building scales with odd types of fifths

     The main types of "weird" fifths I am talking about are

14/9
11/7
13/9
22/15
........and not just the usual tempered versions of 3/2........
----------------------------------------------------------
    What are some of your favorite scales which contain mostly 3/2 fifths, but also a good few (two or more) or the above ratios?

  To me at least, some of the most interesting scale systems IE Mohajira happen when you allow the above types of "mistake" fifths to happen occasionally...  Even if (I realize) using a fifth that's not near 3/2 seems to invite similarly terrible social retribution to claiming the Beatles are less than perfect.

Check out Paul's Standard Pentachordal Major scale.
