Would make sense to shift senate terms to eight years then - then you could have them elected in two classes, which would make a lot more sense.

And yes, this would be a good thing; if you combine it with recall so you can abort particularly repellent speciemns midterm. For one it would mean congressmen don't spend more than half their term running for reelection; and for another it would mean that midterms could entirely be focused on state issues which at present are lost in the federal shuffle.
