Excellent! Facts - some people have serious problems with facts.

Another argument, I have not seen here, yet.
In unequal [must be equal] temperament all octaves are pure.
In 1/6 meantone the octave 2e, 4b is not pure at all.
There is a piece by de Rippe where he uses 2e and 5g instead.
I have run a regular expression search (the computer gurus will know) on all my 
tab files (to scan Fronimo files is impossible, the format is binary):
the octave 2d, 4a occurs 805 times.
The octave2e, 4b occurs 0 [yes zero] times.
I think this is a rather convincing argument, is it not?

The regular expression is not very sophisticated since it does not properly 
handle ornaments. But 805:0 is even better than Germany's 7:1 :)
