I tried to find a meantone tempered version of K448 but was unable to.

For those unaware, our contemporary tuning system for the piano, Equal Temperament, is a somewhat recent invention. It came after Mozart. There are dramatic differences if Mozart is played on the historically accurate Meantone tuning. For a sample see [0], although note that the cheerful final passage is believed to have been composed post mortem by someone else.
