I'm wondering about the difference between these beveled traps and a normal rectangular panel trap where the sides sit off the wall. Is this a cosmetic difference only, or does the additional exposed fiberglass provide any additional absoption? I'd like to do this for the looks aspect, but I don't want to sacrifice any absorption for the sake of appearance. Does beveling the side and having it fit flat against the two surfaces reduce the total amount of absorption?
Thanks,

If you cut away at the side of a panel then you are cutting away absorption. It really is that plan and simple. I think it would still work but you are lessening the distance from the lead edge to the back corner so in theory it is not going to work as well. I myself would not do it. Ether straddle a full 4" (or 6") panel across the corner or better yet, as timmcallister said, fill the full corner.
