Default $5.50 - AJs on bubble against all-in re-raise

How is my line with this hand? Is my pre-flop raise from UTG too big here? After putting in almost 25% of my stack on a raise from UTG, I felt committed to call BB's push here, but maybe I should wait for a better spot.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t2115)
CO (t4895)
Button (t1650)
SB (t2320)
BB (t2520)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero raises to t500</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to t2520 (All-in)</font>, Hero calls t1615 (All-in)

Its hard to play AJ profitable with 16 BB against 4 opponents,so I fold it preflop.

Push or fold pre flop. Read dependent but definately leaning towards a fold tho.

I just raise t350 so I can fold if I think I'm behind in this case it's a very difficult desicion but I think you have to fold

I'd raise 400 preflop and fold to the push.
AJs is too good to fold, but you certainly don't want this confrontation. 400 doesn't make it an auto-call for the BB and let's you get away easily.
Pushing seems -EV to me.
