What goggles go well with the Smith Maze?

I just got back into skiing and I bought a Smith Maze after trying a couple of other helmets (Giro Ledge and Anon Raider) and holy crap is the Maze on a whole different level. Definitely a keeper which is great because I've had nothing but bad luck when it comes to finding a light/comfortable helmet with a low-profile.
However I have an issue with how my goggles fit. The goggles I'm riding majority of the time are Spy Aces because I loved the Level 1 collab and for the money I paid they were a steal (included free leather mittens and I happened to win their giveaway that week as well with that purchase). I also have the perfect range of visibility with them because I have a clear lens, green/yellowish lens, and like a dark brown/platinum lens.
Long story short, I'm looking for recommendations on goggles that fit the shape of the Maze well. I hear Smith goggles fit their helmets great. Are they really that great of a combo? What models should I look at? Anything other than Smith goggles that I should look at?
I like the look of cylindrical goggles (like the Smith Squad for example) but I'm skeptical of them fitting well if my Aces don't.
Thanks guys.

Used to rock a maze now I rock a code. I find the squad xls fit really nice with them but I have a pretty big head (I also own some I/O’s, a couple pairs of crowbars and some pair of spy’s although I forget what model, but the squad xls are definitely the best fit). Go try on some goggles and bring your helmet with you though if you want to really make sure you get the best fit.

The smith io series fits well. I have the io7 with the maze

Oakley line miner fits perfectly and in my opinion is the best goggle on the market

The maze works with pretty much every goggle out there nowadays. I run the flight deck xm with it and it matches the curve of the helmet perfectly. As does the M2, I/O, giro article, etc... I would shy away from spy as they have a more aggressive curve and will leave a gap.

Line miner xm is a no go with the maze.
