Pro account benefits?

Hi there! Brand spankin' new to RTM. Just signed up last night and so far, I like it a lot. Especially love the extension for Gmail so my tasks can stare me down while I peruse email. (Makes them quite hard to ignore!)
I went looking for an Android app while taking a walk. Saw that you need a pro account to get the app, so checked out the Upgrade page. Seems silly to me to upgrade. Of the list that was provided, the only thing that would be of use to me is the Android app. $25 a year is mighty expensive for just one app.
So, I figured I'd post here and ask the people that have upgraded. Are there more benefits than just that list? Would this be worth spending the money on? Or perhaps there is another app that syncs with RTM?
Just in case anyone is wondering why I'm hesitant to spend the money, we're going to be relocating next summer and *every* penny saved will only help further that cause - both with fixing up the house and the move itself. :)

It sounds like you've seen this already, but the complete list of benefits included with a Pro upgrade can be found here.
The upgrade applies to your entire account and entitles you to all the benefits listed on that page.
Hope that helps!

I appreciate the reply. I guess I was looking for something else... As I said, the only benefit to me would be the Android app. I suppose this is something that either a. will have to wait or b. I don't get at all. Again, thanks for the reply.
Here's my 2 cents, from somebody who just upgraded to Pro. I did it just for the Android app - none of the other benefits are of any interest to me. I got suckered in by the "free webapp + free mobile app" thing RTM have going, and only later realized that only Apple users get the free app :-/
That said, RTM is hands down the best todo list app I've ever used. It makes my life and my job easier, and that's well worth $2 a month for me. YMMV. You can always give it a try for 2 weeks and see if it's worth the cost for you.
There are plenty of free/cheap todo list apps out there, but IMO none are as nicely done as RTM. It would be nice if going pro would give you some actual benefits, instead of just letting you continue to use the Android app. But, as I said, $2 a month isn't that big a deal for a really useful service. If I'd been working instead of looking for free alternatives, and finding none with this level of sophistication, I'd have earned the money for several years worth of RTM...
