The JNCIE is a difficult exam, however it is quite realistic. Hence, if you use Junipers in service provider networks and are familiar typical SP configurations, you should have a decent shot at it. The written test itself was designed to be fairly challenging and to compliment the lab and I do recall it being more technically deep than the CCIE written. However, it is also much more focused on a few topics so the increased technical depth makes sense.
