The problem with saying X years of experience, is that someone can work in the same job for 10 years and not really gain 10 years of experience but 1 year of experience 10 times over. It all depends what your experience is made up of. This employer has aimed high with 6 years experience, however I am sure they are not going to turn away someone with 4 or 5 years of really good experience.
