I shall keep the above statement as my motto. There is only an infinitely different set of compromises that might be attempted, is my response to that statement. My take on the difference between the "best" and "usual" Broadwood temperaments is the "usual" might well be considered a usual Victorian type of temperament to offer but if the customer/artist seems especially sensitive and/or likes the idea basically but still finds certain 3rds too harsh, the "best" might then be the best one to offer.
