I second Maho Momo: the swap idea would be even worse.
Kugimiya high pitching doesn't match Maria's image at all, and if you compare Yuuki (from Saki) who is a rare non-tsundere loli voiced by Kugimiya, you really cannot compare the two.
And no, Horie would fail big time with Shannon just for huge difference in term of tone: Horie can only do a serious voice with a very deep one, which is arguably not how Shannon would speak.
That say, even with their respective roles, it is a bit mismatched. Well after the little dramacd, uu uu Maria with Horie is fine (especially with this anime design), but kihihi Maria will definitely be a challenge. Meanwhile I still cannot picture Kugimiya one bit with Shannon at all.
After watching the trailer, I still think Sakamoto would have been the best choice for Kanon, unlike Kobayashi who has the knack into pulling a tantrum voice without much tormented aspect. Well, at least her scope matches Kanon general persona, that is.
