I'm working on this piece and aside from its beauty I find that when practiced slowly it is a great practice etude. It has everything-arpeggios, runs, chromatics, leaps, and accidentals. Anyone else feel that way?

YES!
Great compositions are written in a way that capture the character of the instrument. This is why transcriptions for "other" instruments usually sound shallow, or are just missing something (particularly from string instrument to woodwind).
Mozart was great at finding all that the clarinet does well.

The Concerto is technically easy. That's why it can be hard. It is a true test of a player being able to play runs and arpeggios smoothly and evenly. Not that this is not a concern with other pieces such as the Weber works, etc., but you can't hide any imperfections playing the Mozart. Perhaps that is why it is part of auditions for symphonies I suppose.
