even with beveling depending on how much time you want to spend and degree of accurateness achieved you will have some gaps, some places where the contact between strips is very thin. But at least they can be filled with schmootz.

Not sure i would worry about it too much either way as long as the bad areas are in smallish localizations.

: Even using bead and cove you'll find yourself doing some rolling bevel
: strips. Don't let me talk you into anything. Do what you'll be comfortable
