Don't condemn the rotor based solely on the fact that there is a lip on it.

As stated above, measure it to see if it is below min thickess. Generally the specifications allow the rotors to wear about 3 mm or so from new to worn before they need to be tossed. If they are close to or below min thickess, replace them. If they are thick enough to survive another set of pads before wearing down too far, then keep them.
