It may be obvious to some, but a number of people on this list have concerned themselves with consistency in tunings such as 768-tET, and since consistency requires the best approximation to be used for each JI interval, those people probably have not considered the alternative of using different approximations for the same just interval at different pitch levels. This underscores my point that consistency (which was my idea in the first place) is not important for large ETs, say, above 69-tET.
