EZ Water Calculator 2.0 is now available:
http://www.ezwatercalculator.com/
The spreadsheet now calculates the estimated mash pH rather than using Palmer's RA/SRM correlation. The pH is calculated using water profile data, SRM, amount of roasted malt, and mash thickness. Calculations are based on Kai's extensive mash water pH experiments, seen here:

and here:

Version 2.0 also allows for addition of acidulated malt (Sauermalz).
Less focus is placed on the chloride to sulfate ratio, although it is still there.
Regional water profiles (i.e. Burton, etc.) have been removed.
Some disclaimers have been added - including one about the addition of chalk.
Here's a screenshot:
