Replacing pads w/o machining the rotors

[Maxodus]

...just want to see what people's experiences here are when replacing the brake pads without machining the rotors, with rotors still above minimum thickness?

I am basically replacing the rear pads with OEM at 60k, but every now and then i hear from my friends that machining the rotor at this point is useful. They claim this is because the old pads usually leave a coat of material on the rotor, which may not be compatible with the new pad materials.

Any pointers appreciated~
