A few points:
The transmissions being compatible is true if they are both Manual. If one is an Automatic and one is a Manual, then they aren't. And if both are Automatics, they might not be compatible, but I am not sure.
Assuming that they are both Manuals, keep in mind that you will need to install the pair in the 2004 chassis. It will be a significant and costly amount of work to install it in the 2011, including additional hardware and electronics transfered from the 2004 into the 2011 to replace the incompatible stuff. The transmission could go with either, but the engine needs to stay with the car it was first installed in to make this easy.
The only transmission consideration you will have to deal with is that the wiring harness for each is 'backwards', so you have to figure the few plugs, just the neutral and reverse switch connectors i believe. Everything else bolts right up.
