Joe, Starting with 14.1X53-D10, QFX5100 supports L2VPN, but only the Martini draft(LDP based), not Kompella(BGP based).
See the release notes: Ethernet-over-MPLS (L2 circuit) (QFX5100)—Starting with Junos OS Release 14.1X53-D10, Ethernet-over-MPLS is supported on QFX5100 switches. Ethernet-over-MPLS enables you to send Layer 2 Ethernet frames transparently over an MPLS cloud. Ethernet-over-MPLS uses a tunneling mechanism for Ethernet traffic through an MPLS-enabled Layer 3 core. It encapsulates Ethernet protocol data units (PDUs) inside MPLS packets and forwards the packets, using label stacking, across the MPLS network. QFX5100 is a very good machine, with a lot of new features and good performance, but you need to take care about the new CLI (L2NG) and how to configure things (qinq for instance is different from EX). I think that, if the actual implementation of L2VPN feature can support your network, and you SE helps you and your tem with the correct scripts or the correct way to configure (testing before) ... you will NOT have any problems to buy it and to deploly it.
