(*WARNING:* spoilers for a leaked episode, you have been warned.)
There's also the fact that [spoiler]Sunburst's mother, and Starlight's father seem to be older than say, Twilight's parents, judging by how they seemed to have wrinkles, while Twilight's don't.[/spoiler]That being said, I don't think she's too much older than Twilight, maybe three to four years or so, as you said.
*ETA:* Starlight being older also helps explain how she could hold a candle to Twilight in a fight: she just had more experience. (that, and Twilight's combat record isn't the best to begin with. I also like to think you don't need to be more powerful than Twilight to do well in fighting her, though it's stupid to say she isn't a pretty powerful unicorn, in any case.)
