Tiny nick on mouthpiece

How significant do you think a tiny nick (smaller than the thickness of a fingernail, just about visible to the naked eye) is on: 1.) the tip rail of the mouthpiece; 2.) a side rail of the mouthpiece? Would you categorize such as having little to no negative effect, some effect, or major effect? What specific effect does minor mouthpiece damage produce, is it tone, something else, or does it have more than one undesirable effect? I have 2 mouthpieces I like very much, starting to get older and they've taken a lot of wear. One has a tiny nick on the tip rail, the other has a tiny one on a side rail. Replace sooner, later, or keep playing on them as long as I'm happy with my sound?
