Default clearing cloudy cider

Hi guys,
I have made ciders for the last several years. First one was beer yeast (YUCK never try that again) second was champagne yeast (very good) and the third was cider yeast (average.)

After a week of fermenting and another 3-4 weeks of sitting in the carboy, all three ciders were so clear you could read a newspaper through them.

This year I use a different brand of champagne yeast and it is very cloudy stuff. I would add pectinase if I knew it wasn't just yeast. If this were your cider, would you:

1. Drink it cloudy
2. Add pectinase
3. Crash cool before bottling
4. ?????

Thanks!!

3) Crash Cool.
4) Add KC Superkleer (assuming you aren't allergic to shellfish).

Do 4 before you do 3. KCSC will clear the hell outta that stuff!!!
