Default 100nl: is shoving > calling?

Just sat down so no reads on Villain who doesn't seem that good anyway.

Poker Stars, $0.50/$1 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

Hero (CO): $100
BTN: $29.45
SB: $53.20
BB: $104.10
UTG: $84.35
MP: $60.35

Pre-Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (CO)
UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, <font color="red">Hero raises to $6</font>, 4 folds, MP calls $5

Flop: ($14.50) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">MP bets $4</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $18</font>, MP calls $14

Turn: ($50.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">MP bets $6</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $76 and is All-In</font>

I figure that I must have around 27% equity on the hand and if he calls I surely break even and when he folds Ill profit.

But with his stack size compared to the pot (he only has $30 left) I'm not sure if he'll fold even though hes showing weakness. However hes giving me GREAT odds if I just call. If I call and J comes on the river I might get confused as to what to do.

Given all the factors, is shoving better than calling?
