In equal temperament systems, no comma will equal 81:80. If the syntonic comma is defined as usual, then it is one unit of this tuning, appx. 54.545 cents. Gary, I wouldn't give the same note name, e.g. E, to two different notes, although I see why you did that. But even in the key of C you will sometimes need one E and sometimes the other.
