Hmmm... your money but not a wise choice IMHO. I'm an LRP fan but those packs are just way too expensive for what you get. Generally LiPo hard cases are a rip off. The Intellects pictured above have the same internals as most hard packs out there and are the "correct" price for what you get.
The Intellect's fit into the 511 without much drama. You need to shave about 0.4mm from the leading inside edge of the case to clear the rear bulkhead and add a 3mm spacer to the battery posts. The alternative is to fit a cradle such as the ones available on this site that move the batteries back a little. This removes the need to shave and space... and there's more protection from lateral movement with the cradles.

Edit: You'll need to use 90 degree 4mm battery connectors to clear the body - LRP make a deens pigtail for this.
