I'm assuming your Maggies are the fronts now??

Though I have Maggies, I did NOT find the MGCC centers to be a good match. A center speaker will ideally match the fronts, and these ones sure don't match the 1.6's. Sorry, no equalizers etc. for me to MAKE something defficient try to work acceptably, this isn't a Bose shop here. I found better matches that weren't planar. Unsurprising something the size of the MGCC's planar doesn't match well enough. So choosing the MGCCx isn't a given, unless you're running a strictly Maggie shop.

I found places out here very flexible about loaning center speakers for home trial. Even ones that don't typically loan gear. You gotta try them at home. And do listen carefully to the center all by itself too, to make sure you understand its inherent capability, outside of the context of being a center. And also hook it up as a left with a Maggie as a right, etc. Course it won't be a perfect match, but listen for a flow, some sort of cohesion between the two. It's a pain in the ass really, almost as bad as integrating a sub nicely with Maggies.
