You are not alone in your concern.
The tall miniPCI slot connector was quietly slipped into production on all RB411 and RB411AH more than 2 months ago as well. This has caused major problems for some of our customers. Their complaints have been shared with MT sales.
We are now waiting for the new MT production to change back to the low profile connector on RB411 and RB411AH. I am told that will happen next month on the RB411. I haven't checked on the RB411AH schedule as we are lucky to still have some older low profile stock left.
This means that you cannot fit MMCX radio cards in any new RB411xx card right now with the indoor case top on.
Other case limitations: You cannot fit an MMCX radio card in the top slot of an RB433xx RouterBoard with the MT indoor case. If you try to use Ubiquiti radio cards which have big heat sinks, you can only use a single XR or SR radio card in the RB433xx with indoor case. You can fit two of the Mikrotik MMCX radio cards inside. I believe the same holds true for the RB493xx RouterBoards.
