Hi Mark.
If you are starting with music edition, you should read something about
that. There is a great book on the subject from James Grier: The critical
editing of music. You should know!
Maybe you can find some information there to change your mind that the early
edition is the best for your target: maybe not...
Just to you know that you can make your own edition of Mozart concerto,
since the music is already on public domain. You can use any edition for
your purpose and, as a tip, you should use all these sources to build up
yours edition.

Best
