@JoelvanLennep Don't you mean chocolate.

reason why I like 12 tone equal temperament is for what it has to offer. It allows the transposition of an element, such as a major chord, with the quality of that single element remaining the same at different transpositions, which I use this aspect of 12 tone equal temperament for my music that I compose which can be heavily chromatic.

It's like trying to use something out of context. If something was composed for equal temperament in mind then it sounds right in equal temperament. If something was composed in a different temperament, then it sounds right in that temperament. Only when translation occurs of one piece to other temperaments does the piece sound out of context. I personally love 12 tone equal temperament over other equal temperaments.

The music sounds so utterly expressionless in ET. Empty. I think that 1/4c mean-tone is still the best tuning, if you are content with playing in only a few keys. Composers such as Froberger, Blow, and Stanley did occasionally use the bad 3rds (diminished 4ths) for effect. Effect, it certainly has!

It is so interesting how equal temperament takes away almost all excitement and mysteriousness from the theme!

There is no contrast between places of tension and repose in ET; everything is ironed flat. I don't find it jarring but rather worse: _bland_. It's the "vanilla" temperament. (Pass the pepper please.) The performance is excellent and the harpsichord still sounds glorious, needless to say. (Btw, this is not pure ET - listen to the "tang" in some of the more exotic chords.) I like the release-with-flourish at the end: "There, done!"
