Should I go ahead and quote 8k - which means a 60% raise? Would that be too unreasonable to ask?

Most likely you will be laughed at even if you quote 30% increase at 6.5k. Generally for mid careers 15-20% is the norm.
Dangers of saying 60% expectations is that the co. might drop you altogether, because they are going to think even if they offer 6k you are not committed and just want to use the offer to jump to another 8k job.
