Before throwing money at the problem, try this.

When your brakes are reasonable cool, spray them with water.
Leave that on overnight.
In the morning take your car for a drive and work it so that your first braking opportunity is at 30 to 40 mph.
Then stab the brakes hard.
Repeat 2x.

Often times a micro layer of brake residue accumulates unevenly.
The water soaking on the rotors overnight will work through the tiny fissures in the rotor and get underneath the deposits, causing them to come off at hard braking.
