Hindsight is 20/20, but when you by IDEA Ultimate, you get all the other derivatives as plugins to IDEA (I have the Python, Ruby, and PHP plugins which is the same as having PyCharm, RubyMine, and PHPStorm).

I almost did the same thing you did during the sale but one of my friends let me know about the plugins, which they could do a better job of talking about.

Can't go wrong with this great software either way though.

In hindsight i was wondering exactly that. Would i really get a 100% PyCharm when i buy the IntelliJ IDE!? That would make me buy IntelliJ on the next discount opportunity ;)
The plugin can sometimes take a while to catch up to the latest in PyCharm, and with PyCharm you get an experience tailored to the language. (Download the trials for both and check out the differences).
Since i practically never write Java, i'll just stick with PyCharm then.
