Does a number at the end of a permalink matter?

I'm reorganizing our categories (we had never used them) and some of them are the same as old tags. So one of them is going to have to have -1 at the end of the permalink (dueling-pianos vs dueling-pianos-1). Does this matter SEO-wise? Is the permalink less powerful to the search engines if it has a number at the end of it? Should I change our tags from dueling-pianos to dueilng-pianos-1? Or should I make the category dueling-piano-1?

I can't see that having any effect SEO wise.

The only real concern I would consider is from a user experience perspective.  Does this look neat for a user?  If it was named dueling-pianos-2, one might be inclined to look for the first version of the page.

But even that is a stretch.  I wouldn't worry about it at all and keep it how it is.

That's why I was going to name them dueling-pianos and dueling-pianos-1. They both like like the first version. Thanks for the tip!
