There would be six times as many senators, but presumably the number of representatives wouldn't change that much.

The question might be "a good thing" for whom? American devotion to more proportional representation is and always has been somewhat qualified: the "gerry" in "gerrymander" remembers a signer of the Declaration of Independence...

"American devotion to proportional representation"
