Rotor and pads

My front rotors are warped but my pads still have at least half the material left. I see on RA they recommend replacing pads along with new rotors, but could it be a bad idea to keep the same pads? I usually have to replace both at the same time due to wear, but I didn’t rack up many miles on my truck lately and the high carbon rotors from Autocrap are about 5 years out of warranty. I’m trying to watch the $$ I spend on my truck right now, but I don’t want to cheap out and be sorry later on. What do you all think? Fleet mechanics??

I've replaced warped rotors and used the same pads several times with no detrimental effects.

That’s what I was hoping for. The rotors aren’t scored at all, so I don’t see what the big deal would be.
