The best thing about this is it would further reduce the power one or two large cities have in giving an entire state to one (usually Democrat) candidate.

Large cities have many representatives, so I don't think your proposed change would necessarily have much effect.

But with winner-take-all statewide, it effectively gives more representation to big cities. A district by district allocation would take power away from highly concentrated urban machines and give upstate New York, downstate Illinois, and inland California representation.

Look at the county map for California in the 2004 election. Assigning electors for each district, just in Cali, would have been worth about 19 or 20 EVs switched from Dem to Republican. After the 2004 election there were a lot of calls for re-working the electoral college in Cali, the pubbies missed a grand opportunity to propose something like this.
