it appears a lot of people don't see that a lot of your equity from shoving in this situation comes from guys that can't call with the hand they have raised with. 60% of them fold. And of the remaining guys left (40%), only higher PP have you in deep trouble, you are a coin flip against the connectors (AK, AQ, etc), and some of them can't/won't call either (some guys will lay down AKs to that push).
You can shove this a LOT easier than calling with it. Calling with the mPP is a much harder spot. I do agree that it's a call here, you have to put a wall up at some point and I think most of the time here you are a slight favorite since they do not have a pair and have to hit the board.
BTW Xas, loved the webcast interview.
