Default EBC Rotors: Replace or Resurface??

I usually replace my rotors when I replace my pads on my 2004 ZX3; the Ford rotors are softer than my stomach and my OEMs warped within 8k miles of having them turned once after my first brake job.

The last few sets of front brakes I've had were Hawk HPS pads, grinding down whatever cheap 2-year warranty Autozone rotors I could get my hands on. The idea was to totally eat up the cheap rotors with some hardcore pads, and get a new set of rotors at no charge when the pads wore thin.

But I went to Bat-inc. for their (really good) deal of EBC rotors with Mintex pads this last time. My vibrating pedal tells me it's time again, but I wonder:

Can I safely turn the EBC rotors, or will they, like the OEM rotors, just be too thin for the application after shaving?? I enjoy being able to go more than 10k miles on a set of front brakes...
