"I do have more years' experience than what you have outlined in your job posting; however, there are aspects of this position that would be new and exciting for me as well. For example, I would enjoy the exposure to more enterprise accounts. Despite my level of experience, there would be much for me to learn here."

Good. You may want to explain in more detail how you will develop a career path from your position, and also explain why the position itself is interesting or a good first step. The interviewer is looking for assurances that you'll find career satisfaction in the position, so enhance your answer from that perspective.
