Default Stars $16: KQs on bubble

I think I was right to push this. Faced with three bigger stacks, I even almost wanted a call to either end it or get me back in the game. Is that impatience getting the better of me?

POKERSTARS HOLD'EM NO LIMIT - LEVEL VI (100/200)

Seat #3 is the button

Seat 1: mimosen. (3785 in chips)
Seat 3: Galilee (1385 in chips)
Seat 8: mattymillne (5150 in chips)
Seat 9: Sopher (3180 in chips)
mattymillne: posts small blind 100
Sopher: posts big blind 200
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Galilee [Qc Kc]

mimosen.: folds
Galilee: raises 1185 to 1385 and is all-in

My real question though (whether this push was right or wrong) is: when you're the short stack on the bubble looking for a hand to push how big a difference is there between being UTG and on the button? Should you be pushing roughly the same range of hands, or should you be significantly tighter UTG? For example, I pushed KQs on the button, but I would have hesitated UTG.
