The Bruckner First is unique in his cannon. It's different from all of the rest to a very large degree. All you need to do is listen. It's his first actual effort [after the "Study Symphony", which was just that - a composition exercise, not an actual creative effort], and the better you know it, the more amazing it sounds. Just listen to that 3rd theme group - so bold [3 theme groups in his 1st movement expositions being one of the stylistic innovations he'd keep in all of his future symphonies].
The Sym #2 is overall a weaker work, and not one that I'd expect to appeal to none Bruckner dedicated listeners. Indeed, I'd expect it to have very low appeal all around to the general listener. Still, for the dedicated Bruckner listener it has many beauties in it, especially in the *optimal* 1877 edition.
But, the Sym #1 is a special, and quite strong work.
