I would be interested in hearing why you think this is better than a pot-sized reraise.
One reason might be that if we want a hand like QQ/JJ to call, we have to make it look like how we would play AK or a small PP. If I wanted to "play back" with either of these, I would probably push.

i'd push because i'm not going to put in half my stack without getting the other half in and i'd rather not give someone a chance to call me and then fold to my flop push if they miss/call me if they hit.

KK will still call, QQ will probably still call (though they should fold regardless of what we raise to), AK may call thinking we have QQ. the reraiser has one of these hands 95% of the time.

A push will probably get more action from JJ to KK than a raise to 70 or 80 just because it is such an overbet that it looks like you really don't want them to call. So, they might be more inclided to think you have AK and are trying to push them off their JJ, QQ, or KK than that you really have the aces.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the re-raiser says something like, "Ok, it's coin flip time" then calls your all-in with QQ.

If you push, then I think you get at least one call from the re-raiser, and maybe even two calls here if you push preflop.
