The thing that I like about Beethoven is the texture or layering or whatever you'd call it; I find that lacking to some degree in Mozart. But, the 41st has it. I am unfamiliar with 25; however, I will purchase it on your recommendation.

The first movement of Symphony no. 25 in G minor, (K.183) is recognizable to most as the signature piece in the trailers for the film "Amadeus". He wrote it in Salzburg when he was around 17. You're right though, it does not have the complexities of 41 but it has a general dramatic "busyness" in the outer movements that I like as well as the interplay between the violins and cellos in the first movement.
If you do get it, I think you'll enjoy it. I've always come back to it again and again over the years and never tire of it.
Cheers.
