The needs of Texas are different than the need of Vermont. You should not disregard the needs of Vermont just because Texas is larger.

Sure, I agree completely. But it doesn't necessarily follow that the needs of the citizens of a state are disregarded by giving everyone's voice the same weight.
I get what you're saying, but that's the result of how our government is set up, and not inherently a result of giving everyone an equal vote.
It could of course easily be argued that currently the needs of the citizens of the larger states are being disregarded at the preference for the smaller states).
