Yeah, rotors are too cheap these days to mess with turning.

I will highly recommend the Brembo OEM replacement rotors you can get 
from Tire Rack and elsewhere.  Really fantastic product:

* competitively priced.
* Super flat, minimal run out, apparently blanchard ground.  NOT the 
lathe turned concentric grooved finish cheap rotors have.
* factory balanced -- have clip on weights or drill outs to balance.
* NOT coated with oil or Cosmoline goop that requires a whole can of 
solvent + labor per rotor to remove
* don't seem to rust as badly on the non-swept surface as others.
