The 511 will have slightly better manners and possibly corner speed than both the 501 and DB01, as the 511 use the newer wishbones.
As for the DB01 v TRF argument, it is all subjective. In the UK, I couldn't justify the cost of a TRF car, but I can buy the DB01 and upgrade it over time. For most people, the only reason that the TRF car is faster than the DB01, is all in your heads, really, it is. On any track, I can't fully exploit the handling of the DB01 so surely I won't, on the TRF cars, so it is really a daft argument this.
It is like asking, whats better, Ford Focus 1.6 or a ST.... just no contest.
