Default PLHE shorthanded query - when a squeeze play gets countered

We are playing a 2-table 12 person PLHE tournament, 1st gets entry into the $215 WCOOP event, second gets $25.

Blinds 75/150, I am in the BB with A7o. Action is five handed on the final table. I have 1600, button has around 2500, SB has about 4000. The other two players have between 3500 and 5000.

Folded to button who limps, SB completes. I have button noted as a guy who likes limping a lot in position and isn't altogether aggressive postflop. I've gotten him to fold 3 or 4 flops with smallish continuation bets. I think I can get him to fold, but SB is a different story. He was the kind who would not raise preflop much at all, but made good postflop decisions and raised hard on tough boards. Not a TAG, but a tricky player for sure.

My image is LAG, lots of raises and reraise isolations, but I've been folding a little too much to people firing back at me.

I raise it to 600. Button folds. SB pushes. 1900 in the pot, 1000 for me to call.

Folding would make me the short stack at the table (I was shortie to begin with), but the blinds rise in about 5 minutes.

Is this a call? I'm getting 3:1 on the call here but is that worth it, given SB's standards?
