Something I have thought about is giving more weight to rare-voters.
My HN karma is easily 50x the number of votes I have ever given, up or down. But when I do vote, I really mean it.
This is somewhat a problem though if I never vote but happen to vote my buddies post because he is my friend; so maybe it wouldn't work.
To your idea; instead of giving a 4-1 ratio from high-to-low voters; I would propose something like like 0-10 with 10 points for those with the highest karma, and 0 for those with the lowest.
