When I have stack larger than another player I will typically bet their stack size. Is that frowned upon, or does it not matter one way or another? When I'm short stacked and the large stack pushes all their chips it always seems a little overkill to me. Here's an example hand...

Dealt to 09kKahneFan [ ]
jannebc: folds
09kKahneFan: raises 1270 to 1670 (should've been 1695, but close enough)
BzZRain: folds

09kKahneFan: doesn't show hand
Should I put in like $2K here since it would cover him, or was the (almost) stack size bet ok? Either way it puts them all in, I just don't want to look like a jerk when I do so.
