it is definitely more -EV. adding small pairs and all the aces in the range gives alot more situations where you are behind by a small margin, and if you consistently do this in party sngs you will lose lots of chips. the pot odds might help compensate for this a little, but in general you don't want people calling pushes.
also, although you have a higher win percentage against this range, it is still losing to the range. my guess is that the number of hands you get called by increases enough to overcome the smaller edge your opponent has.
i might not have explained this well, but SNG power tools say pushing here loses more against a wider range. i know thats a lame way of trying to justify my argument, but it's usually what i consult when i can decide how correct a push is.
