As I remember, when the beats rates in the temperament's ladder of M3ds were made smooth and even, the C#3-F3 M3d beat identical to the C#4-F4 M3d. (The ladder was dead level.) It did have smoother harmonicity than the Memphis Ivors&Pond consoles of 50 years ago. But not by much. I treated the tuning like a harpsichord's: with so few strings you can afford to tune it a half dozen times at one sitting until it stops squirming.
