I have the camel interior on my MKX and the only time I really notice the reflection is when I am pulling into my garage. Otherwise it is not really any worse than most cars with light interior colors.
As for a dashmat or dashtopper, I saw an edge the other day with one that was really beautiful....it looked like suede. I asked the guy where he got it, and I found the website. If you feel dashmats are ugly, check these out..they are really classy, and if you get a darker shade, will reduce the glare so that you can enjoy your edge better.
