AA in a 4bet Pot HU

Villain is one of the better regulars in the games. He is a 21/17 with a 3bet of 6% and a fold to 4bet of 22% over a 4k hand sample with a 44% W$SF and a 46% W$SD(sample size small for last 2 stats to be really relevent) We had a dynamic and I felt that he would be flatting my 4bet IP with a wider range that consisted of 88+,AXs broadways, and KXs broadways. In restrospect, I think I would have like making my 4bet a little bigger since he is folding so infrequently along with a slightly larger flop cbet.

The question is regarding the turn. Though I feel jamming is fine here, I felt that since a safe card fell, checking was better for several reasons. Given the range that I assigned to him, I felt that when he only called the flop, that his hand was either a float or a worse pair, plus because I have the Ad as a blocker, it limits his FD's to KdQd which I feel would also be raising the flop. If he did have an overpair or set that he was just calling, I thought he would certainly be jamming this on the turn anyway, So all the a bet would accomplish would be to fold out all his floats and weaker pairs that peeled one.

Conversely, by checking, I felt like it allowed for him to bluff his floats, and maybe even turn his weaker pairs into bluffs when I check. If he did check back, I thought that I could bet about a little less than half pot making it easy for him to bluff catch as I wasn't worried about giving a free card here as if I was ahead, he would at most be drawing to 6 outs or less ie if he peeled with KQ or a worse pair with the exception of KcQc. Thoughts?
