Yup ... a big part of "mating" or "bedding" the pads to the rotor is actually transferring some of the pad material to the rotor ... and to do that effectively you absolutely need a clean, smooth surface on the rotor.
I suppose you could turn the rotors but depending on how thin they are after that it may not be worth the money or the effort.
So if you're going to spend 40 or 50 bucks getting old rotors turned, why not just get new ones.
