It all depends on driving style. I can drive the 9 mile back road I live on with out braking at all if not forced to by obstacles or other motorists. If you're gentle, rotors could certainly last through 2 sets of pads. Do you know the history of the car?
Don't take too seriously the barking about reusing rotors that are in spec. A lot of folks derive pleasure from buying new parts and throwing perfectly serviceable parts away. The only real utility in it is that it makes them feel good, it does little to nothing for performance unless you're operating on the ragged edge.
If you do decide to replace the rotors, go with a reputable manufacturer and don't skimp on replacement parts quality. The parts market these days is hard to understand, sometimes I get more for less and often times it's the other way around.
