[AMBER] NVT or NPT in aMD simulations?

Dear AMBER experts,

In the AMBER tutorial 6.3: Using Accelerated Molecular
Dynamics (aMD) to enhance sampling,
the production MD stage of aMD is conducted under the NVT
ensemble (ntb = 1) but not at constant pressure NPT,
the ensemble usually used in MD simulations of biomolecules.
What was the reason of such a choice?
Is the NPT more correct than NVT for aMD simulations of biomolecules?
Thank you,
Michael
