So folks in ifixit land I have successfully swapped out a 2012 logicboard from a 2012 15" MacBook Pro into a 2011 15" MacBook Pro!

The 2011 is the last model year for the shunned 17" line of MacBook Pros. My question: Is the logic board compatible between a 2011 15" MacBook Pro and a 2011 17" MacBook Pro?

If this was possible it would mean I could swap out that same logicboard from a 2012 15" MacBook Pro and put it into my 2011 17" MacBook Pro! This would truly be amazing since Apple was sooooo slow putting the USB 3.0 architecture into their line of laptops.
