Also does the business application have any dependence on Active Directory at all (or in the future - it may be worth asking the vendors if they foresee this for future versions)?
A lot of the potential problems in your case will disappear since you are unlikely to have to have a prolonged period of AD/NT4/EX55/E2K co-existing. In fact the time could be zero according to the migration/upgrade strategy you pick. Also worth thinking about is that at this stage in the game you could possibly wait for .NET & Titanium to save the bother of another upgrade later.
