OK, I was hoping that is what you were referring to , as I find that too. 
The damn things get flat to the tonic, or sharp to each other.  Still I
think the
challange is to get the triple octaves from c4 up sounding solid. (And
that is only one octave actually)  A lot of romantic and Jazz is played
octave in each hand an octave apart. The first few bars of the Greig
Concerto for example. 
The originator of the Jim Coleman Pure Fifth Stretched Octave Temperamnet
showed, (thank you Jim) such octaves sounding outstanding, but the octave
c4--c5 by design is extra stetched from the get go.  So I cooked up some
spread sheets using 12th root of 2.01-2.1.   That's not exactly pure
fifths in concept, but I wanted to see what it looks like on paper. And
there are numbers begging to be fed into a machine, which I don't have.  I
do have Tunelab, but as with any machine, there is a learning curve.  The
spread sheets give beat tables though, but there is that learning curve
for aural tuning of new temps.
