[AMBER] What Can I do for Mixture of Solutions simulation and what should I assign epsilon value for this?

Hi,
I want to simulate protein-ligand interaction in 70%water -30%ethanol
(percents for volume) For this;
1) Should assign "epsin" in input files? For example epsin = 80 #for water
2) Let's say I should assign new value to epsin. Can I use this formula :
(Prakongpan and Nagai, 1984; Chien, 1984; Dumanovic et al., 1992*) *
€mixture = a1€1+a2€2 (a is percent of volume and € is you know, epsilon :)
)
so for 70%water -30%ethanol
€=78*0.70 +24.3*0.3 = 61.89

or should I use (from this article: International Journal of Pharmaceutics
269 (2004) 353–360 A simple relationship between dielectric constant of
mixed solvents with solvent composition and temperature Abolghasem Jouyban)
this formula:
ln εm = φ1 ln ε1 + φ2 ln ε2 + φ1φ2 2 i=0 Ki(φ1 − φ2) i

3)is the method I am planning of doing this simulation (to assign epsin
value and to use the formula) wrong? if it is... what is the rightest way
to do it?
Thank you so much for your help by now
