I tend to agree mainly because of the 1st movement - it's demonic,
invigorating, and Mozart's best piano concerto movement.

Following close behind in my enjoyment are nos. 17, 19, 21, and 22.

For no.  17, my favorite is Schiff on London - Perahia for no.  19, Bilson
for no.  21, Barenboim(EMI) for no.  22, and Frantz on Eurodisc for no.
24.  I don't know that Eurodisc still exists; I hope the Frantz recording
gets picked up by some label.  His first movement is perfect if you want
the "underworld" highlighted.
