For me, there is only one moment that challenges the horn entry in the first movement exposition of No.7 and that's a well executed transition between movements three and four in the fifth. When done properly (as in exactly to my taste *ahem*), it's blow-your-hair-back stuff.

My guess is that 2 offsets the fatigue of more jaded music-lovers as well as the preferences of those who know that Beethoven's pure orchestral music is simply more fun.
