I can't speak to the specifics of Fin11, having barely used it. But if you are already on Fin10, the main differences you will notice are
1. Score Manager. This could possibly be a step forward, but if you need to have transpositions separate from instruments or if you need to upgrade pre-Fin12 files that contain instrument doublings (including percussion) on the same staff, you will find the current implementation of Score Manager to be huge pain in the patootie. 2. Staff Groups are now associated with measure ranges instead of systems. I like this a lot, but the upgrade process makes a huge mess of them, so working with upgraded files can be a pain. 3. All systems are optimized, and you cannot exclude staves with music in them without going through an explicit process. Again, this is a good thing, but it does create complexity in dealing with upgraded files. 4. You have to be extremely careful about how you drag staves up and down on a system. I have finally adjusted to the new way, I think, but I still screw up every now and then, and the screw ups are very costly. Rule of thumb: always click white space to clear any selection (possible not visible) before attempting to grab a handle. If you fail to grab the handle, click white space before the next attempt. 5. I don't know if this matters to you, but a huge new benefit is support for Unicode fonts. Not only does this mean straightforward support for non-Western characters, but it also includes a huge variety of symbols that can now be incorporated directly as articulation marks, etc. This feature was the decisive feature that got me to move my work from Fin08 to Fin12 and live with the minor regressions.
