hmmm... considering their design envelope (towing 7000_lbs down a Mt pass, or hammering a track) I really doubt that rotors will start warping once the 1mm wear is past. ...at least not the way most drive. (relatively gently)

Of course, if you regularly come down (hard) from 150mph, then yeah, you might want to keep in that factory spec. YMMV
