I completely agree with Harrington, and have been practicing this diligently lately and the "first in vigourish" is HUGE IMHO. You have very little FE, but sometimes it is enough and when you do get called, you may get lucky or even get called with suited connectors or random hand lower than Q.

That doesn't make sense to me; you say the first-in vig is "HUGE" but we have very little FE. Isn't FE the whole point of first-in vig?
Why not wait til next hand? We'll be UTG so still have the first-in vig. And we'll probably be dealt a better pushing hand than Q6o.

i don't think q6o is a bad pushing hand. there is a decent chance you're going to get called by a blind with a hand like J5 or T4s (he's getting a little better than 2:1) so having a hand with some big card value is nice. 98s would be better, but i would take Q6o over 53s, for example.
