Hyphens in domain names

I've certainly found a keyword orientated domain with a hypen never seems to do quite as well as one without. Having said that, if you are using google adwords to promote, your quality score seems unaffected.

PS: All this talk of 'red handbag' (I brought the very domain last week to add to the ever-growing collection of micro-sites!!)

Just going off at a tangent a bit what does the affect of having say a number 4 in your URL instead of "for" have on the impact of the domain name ?
