What Cid said, the Prestige Class would only give you Effective Caster Levels unless it said otherwise. So, effects, like a familiar if you had one, would be that of a 6th level Sorcerer as far as its special abilities as the chart lists Master Class Level, not Caster Level. However, the Improved Familiar feat, for example, requires different caster levels so you would meet those requirements.
Keep Class levels and Caster levels separate and you should be fine. Just look at what feats and other things require and compare it to the correct level.
