If I could make an extra $1K with new rotors and you were willing to put them on, I'd say the same thing.

My front rotors lasted 62K miles, the rear now have 72K and are still above min. thickness by about 1mm. There is only 2mm wear available on new rotors so they wear pretty well.

Your squeal has nothing to do with the rotor. It's the back of the pad rubbing on the pistons. If you use the dampers that are available to keep the pad still against the pistons or use some Disc Brake Quiet you should eliminate the squeal.
