I love this IDE very much, and I'm using Community Edition right now. I'm just wondering if Ultimate has any additional benefits for Android development. If so, what are those benefits?

IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition: the free edition based on open-source for JVM and Android development.
Pros: IntelliJ Idea is an excellent IDE with a great code editor and all the features a developer can need. It supports all the major programming languages one can think of and the debugging features are really helpful. Also, the code completion intelligence, called IntelliSense is really powerful and smart.
IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate – the IDE for Spring development. JetBrains: Developer Tools for Professionals and Teams. Be productive in Spring. Be productive in Spring. IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate provides a rich set of built-in developer tools and outstanding support for the Spring framework.
The IDEA Community is made up of people, organizations and companies who are passionate about finding creative and innovative solutions to the challenges limiting reproductive health and rights in Latin America and who make up the social innovation ecosystem of the IDEA Initiative.
No, for Android Dev only the UE (Ultimate Edition) it is not probably worth the money. The CE (Community Edition) supplies you with most (if not all) what you actually need to develop a real-world Android project.
IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition is very much worth his money if you have to use it for a wider spectrum of languages/frameworks/projects.
Have a look at the comparative table here:

As you can see, if you have to use it for web development, or in an enterprise-level environement, you will have to buy the UE. For Java/Android only, the UE is quite an overkill.
