I'll send plans.
You can use the same cabinet, of course, and that will at least give you a nice midwoofer to match your tweeter. You'll just have to dial-in the crossover, and since you have an active unit, that will give you some fun tinkering with it and getting it setup.
You should be able to get it sounding quite nice. The drivers you've chosen are all very good, and the horn sounds real good too. The thing that's different is the directivity, and therefore the reverberent field. The 811 creates collapsing DI, which gives you some acoustic equalization. You won't need as much electrical compensation as a result, but you also won't have as smooth polar response. But the 811 does sound pretty good and I think you'll have fun with it.
