I drive with SRM on most of the time. I downshift from 6-4 all the time. I also upshift 2-4 and 4-6 as well. SRM works flawlessly. Even though spearfish and travisjb are correct, you don't have worry about it costing to redlight (i.e. normal driving). If you're tracking or driving very aggressively at higher speed, then downshifting with skipping gear may overrev your engine.
