Does this low-pH/decrease in clarification time apply to ales, too? Or is this a unique feature with just lagers?

All beers I brew except Kölsch. That yeast is just so dusty nothing will get it but filtration. But I don't brew many ales except Kölsch and Weizen neither of which clears. Subsequent to experiencing it in the real world I saw a confirming statement in a book somewhere - don't remember where.

I am in the process of moving my brewery to well water. I did have it tested and will brew very good dark beers. I prefer light beers to amber ales.

I have been spending a lot of time in this forum and appreciate all the information.

I have been playing with two of the spreadsheet tools noted here. Both I believe are highly regarded.

I need to make a decision on which tool to use so I can get on to actually brewing.

My question: Is it best just to select one and go with it?, Or, is there some reasoning behind the selection that I may need to consider?

Anyone have a fairly recent profile of city water in Duluth Minnesota (Lake Superior H20)? I've found something on the city website but it's pretty basic. I'll get a sample tested if need be but I thought I'd check in with the brew-a-nistas before shelling out the $$$ (I'm a cheap mutha!).
