Not really; ampersand is more complex than the corresponding comma for 84
et (which is the hemisixths comma of 78732/78125) even though the 84 et
itself is more complex (larger) than 72. 72 as you note is not really an
important 5-limit system.

Do you think "blackwood" is a better name for this temperament than
"quintal"?
