the 25/50 rule (though technically features still function 75) just caps of features essentials has offer simplified management dashboard, rwa, etc.. can use essentials in conjunction ad server,  again, essentials features limited devices , users registered through essentials dashboard. setup example deploys 9 servers (8 virtual + 1 physical):

- physical:
1) windows 2012 std w/ hyper-v

- virtual (all windows 2012 r2 std):
1) ad + dns
2) dhcp
3) exchange 2013 mbx
4) exchange 2013 cas
5) session connection broker + lic
6) session app server
7) wsus

virtual server 8 acts essentials connector + rd gateway pretty edge for consumer facing services. essentials role will create simplified experience consumers without lot of admin clutter on backend. home/sbs setup. remember works single domain

100s of users stick r2 std across board. if ever wanted install essentials subset of users can install on top since role , not separate image.
