Default Early MTT low M situation

I just played this hand a few minutes ago and already it's making me sick to my stomach. Any insight appreciated.

No reads on either Villian.

Party Poker $1 buy-in MTT (800 left out of 2,000)
Blinds 150/300

<u> Stack Sizes </u>

Villian 1 (UTG+1) 9,000
Villian 2 (MP) 4,000
Hero (Button) 2,400

Hero is dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villian 1 limps, folds to Villian 2 who limps, folds to Hero who?

Me three. Easy push, 1050 up for grabs and a lot of FE.

What's the avg stack?

Villain one's pure presence with his fine 9k stack might protect you from hands that would like to look you up. Push.

I don't know what's better, folding or pushing, but I'm pretty sure limping is way below both options here.
