Beveling the edges of a trap should be done purely for cosmetic reasons. Glenn is right, you are cutting away absorption.

For example, our MondoTrap vs. our Corner MondoTrap are the same design except the beveled edges. The regular MondoTrap performs a bit better, but the beveled edge makes the Corner MondoTrap appear to only be 1" thick when installed.

So it's a question of aesthetics vs. peak performance.
