The reason that the rotors should not be turned on Mercedes is because, if they are thick enough, you should just slap a new set of pads on there. Mercedes rotors are soft so that if you use a set of pads on them and then turn them, you will beyond min thickness.

On my car, I change the rotors every other set of pads, and without turning them they barely last 2 sets of pads before being worn beyond minimum thickness. But then again, a good OEM quality rotor runs $40-$45 each for the front, so it is not a very large cost for new rotors.
where are you buying rotors for $40-$45 the lowest i have seen is in the $60 range..
