I see... For that system, using MMPBSA makes sense of course. What I was
trying to say before is, if your molecule changes shape a lot during
solvation, it is quite likely that the forcefield will not give you a good
conformational ensemble for the vacuum state, to give just one example,
partial charges are derived specifically for the solvated system.
