I think the sensors are about $12 apiece, and you need 2 per wheel. It would save you a little coin to replace your pads early!
And there is no sensor for the rotor thickness. I replaced all of my pads at ~40k miles (when I got the car) and could tell there is wear on the rotors. When I get to about 80K, I'm going to check the pads, and if they're getting close to worn, I will get all new rotors and pads and swap them all at once.
