Does that make them better? Could be a factor, but for me, it's not a decisive factor. I think the Brahms Second Piano Concerto is among the top five piano concertos ever writen, but the very top for me is still the Rachmaninoff Third.
Also, one other thing to consider: I've never heard the Reger Piano Concerto, but I suspect that, like the Brahms concertos, it also has a more integrated texture than most other concertos do. As I say, textural integration is only one factor among many in the success and appeal of a given concerto - at least, IMHO. ;-)
