More seriously, the fact that members would have to vote to dilute their power is a big obstacle. There's not really any energy for it either. Like expanding the house might help Democrats at the margin but not as much as making PR or DC states would or as much as any other structural reform. Apparently the capitol can only support about 600 anyway. 497 is a weird number, but it prevents a tie and then there are 600 electoral votes. 535, a simple 100 vote increase could also be fine. The Wyoming rule would give 568 members, but that could be weird since it could lead to a contraction or expansion depending on Wyoming's pop growth. The cube root rule would yield to many members to fit.
