What tutorial? What drawbacks? Can you please be more specific. I’ve been using Amber and the Amber QM/MM interface to study heme systems over the past few months, so I may be able to help if I know what is the problem. Regarding the level of theory, B3LYP is fairly standard, but there are better functionals for modeling spin state energetics or spin-crossover processes; the choice depends on the question you want to answer.

What about the heme group do you want to model (e.g. UV-vis absorption, redox potentials, spin state energetics, etc.)?
Best,
Matthew
