The target is a ST based ARM (STR71x ARM7TDMI). Well we have the eCOS
running on the target basically en has started writing drivers for our
platform (I2C, SPI, , Realtime, Atmel Dataflash...)
But when looking at the JIFFS2 filesystem, it requires Flash drivers V2.
But Flash driver V2 seams not to be available in the CVS.
Another point by eCOSPro is that i contains a more stable version of the
JIFFS2 filesystem, than the one available through CVS.

I beg to differ; the CVS is fully up to date. There may be offerings
(targets and features) which eCosPro has that aren't available, but
AFAIK, nothing that makes the CVS out of date...

It depends. eCosPro would be indicated if:
* You need a target or feature that they provide not in CVS
* You want paid technical support
What target are you looking at?
What features do you need?
