Stacks and position are the main reason I said that range was too tight. It helps that the biggest stack (behind you) is in the BB, as if he was any shorter, he may have pot odds to call. It's rare you'll get a call from anyone if you push there given the situation, and if you do, it'll usually be from the SB - in which case you'll be getting about 1.5:1 on your money, and you'll still have a healthy stack if you lose. Just this one blind steal here puts you in real good shape to completely start running over the table as everyone else tries to hang on.
I'm pushing with a ton of hands in this exact spot (at least top third).
