Do you think the differences between Detroit and Buffalo are bigger than the differences between Oneonta or Cadillac and either one of the big cities?
If we ever made Senators more representative, you might well end up with 3-6 Senators for top 10 states like both Michigan and New York, while middling states like Massachusetts and South Carolina would stick with 2 and small states like Vermont or Wyoming would have to get 1. Some states might even choose to elect them by district instead of Statewide, so you'd get representation of places within big states that really don't matter much today.
