Double sitemaps - different priorities on home page - does this hurt my site?

Hi,

Not really, it's not very important to have the priority elements in the sitemaps at all as Google usually decides on the priority to crawl pages themselves. Regardless of what you put in the sitemaps. Having two different locations for sitemaps containing the same URLs might be something to look into in the future. They like having 1 sitemap that is completely correct without mistakes. It provides you with a better authority then having issues with your sitemap(s).

Hope this helps!
