Experiment wins over argument: I just did exactly what I proposed on my 
Q. The Q also has what is called Hermode tuning, which allows one to go 
from equal tempered to pure intervals and anywhere inbetween. Tempered 
has beating, just as one would expect. It is not exactly unpleasant, 
but... going to pure intervals or just slightly tempered for a very 
slow beating is so unspeakably nice. To quote from the CD "Beethoven on 
the Temperaments" (Gasparo Records #332): "This CD contains pure 
intervals which may be habit forming!"
