I've had a TS-859U-RP+ for a little over two months and it has been great. I only use it as an iSCSI target, however, so I can't say anything about it as a NAS / file server, and I haven't used the AD integration feature.
I do believe that AD integration is built into the firmware for all their current devices, and it is certainly there for the TS-1279U-RP. (See the datasheet at http://www.qnap.com/image/product/pdf/TS-x79_series_datasheet_EN.pdf) By the way, Newegg has the TS-879U-RP-US for $3k, and Provantage is even a little less.
