Yeah - the L2 VLAN config on CRS has been frustrating to say the least. I haven't even tried this "new" method on the CRS317, but it's on my list soon.
Juniper EX JunOS syntax across models is more or less the same. There are some minor differences when you get into EX4600 since it uses ELS (enhanced L2 software) software.
