Default Satelite question: priced in, or wait for a better spot?

I have a very limited amount of experience playing satelites, and I felt that during this tourney.
Here is one of the hands that I was most unsure about.

Avg stack: 6952
people left: 378
Places getting paid: 300

Full Tilt Poker, NL Hold'em Tournament, 400/800 Blinds, 100 Ante, 9 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

MP2: 4,064
CO: 3,285
BTN: 6,299
SB: 4,495
Hero (BB): 5,980
UTG: 5,371
UTG+1: 3,529
UTG+2: 8,230
MP1: 3,377

Pre-Flop: (2,100) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB)
3 folds, <font color="red">MP1 raises to 3,277 and is All-In</font>, 2 folds, BTN folds, SB folds, Hero ???

Even if it was a regular tournament you are not priced into this hand.

I would only call this if I had ~2.5BB left.

You're not getting good odds (2.1) and its for over half your stack. If you pass on this, you'll still have a decent stack with fold equity.
