I don't know about knowing all these 'well', but I've listened to:

Tchaikovsky (might well be the first 5th I listened to).
Shostakovich
Mahler
Prokofiev
Vaughan Williams
I know Schubert's, but I consider it a Mozart pastiche.

I only recently listened to Bruckner's so I don't have much of a view of it as yet. I wasn't blown away and can't recall any 'moments' from it.

It's possible I've listened to other fifth symphonies in the past, but just don't recall doing so.

Schubert 5 is not a Mozart pastiche. The melody and many of the harmonic shifts, the pacing, none of it is Mozartian. Only a superficial smoothness could cause one to have that impression.

None of the melodic or harmonic shifts are Mozartian?! Of course and grass isn't green. The bits that are not like Mozart are either like Beethoven or Haydn.

I'm not saying it isn't good to listen to, but it is what it is.
