Never used the Maxwell Renderer before but it looks like the render is an 'ambient occlusion' pass, maybe look into that for a start.

Stick with Mental Ray to be honest... Although you may need to work a little harder to get your look just right with Mental Ray. Its not worth the time and effort to get Maxwell and Maya to integrate correctly to get a faster fix and less tweaks.
