I do like the flush screens of the newer Kindles, but was not that bothered by the raised bezels. I put skins on my Kindles, so get a tiny edge from those. But the cover is closed if I'm not reading, so don't notice much dust buildup.
I bought a used T2 and it literally had a grey layer around the edges of the screen. At first, I thought the screen was defective but it was a hardened layer of dust. The dust was removed by gently using a q-tip while blowing air (trying not to spit all over the ereader). Despite this, I prefer the raised bezel to a flush screen due to the added protection it gives. I frequently place my ereader face down on a table and the raised bezel helps protect against scratches or even drops where the screen doesn't directly hit the floor.
