Hardest Czerny piece

Which, in your opinion, would be the most difficult Czerny piece, musically and/or technically?

Of course all I've played from him are his Etudes op.299. Are these his technically most challenging pieces, or are there more out there?  :)

Try some of his real music. The sonatas and quite a lot of his opera paraphrases leave the School of Velocity in the dust. Much nicer, too.

Try his Toccata. It is very challenging but very nice.
