There isn't really a need to commit that much pre flop with Queens (without just pushing pre flop). There are a lot of scary flops (more than for aces) and you don't want to be folding on the flop with that much in the pot or making a call knowing you're probably behind. I would have re raised all in but I'd have to know the player first. If he was a tight player I would flat call and try and get a feel for where I am when the flop comes out.
To get more value for your aces you could have flat called because he had position on you and it would have been a great opportunity to check raise him (or even check call the flop if there's no draws). The only danger of this is you want to isolate the one player and not let other people in relatively cheap. It depends on how many people on the table were calling raises.
I very rarely re raise all in with Aces pre flop in a cash game, the only situation would be if there was a danger of a multi way pot developing or if there had already been a re raise in front of me and I was likely to get a call.
This isn't to say you're wrong, just how I'd have played them.
