I really think that this might matter brand to brand and who is making the off brand blanks, the tolerances the manufacturer allows, etc.
When I compared a set of OEM rotors for my Talon vs the Advanced Auto blanks, the OEMs had significantly thicker disk walls (compared with longer cooling vanes on the blanks) and weighed a good 5 to 10 lbs more. When I tracked the OEMs, I experienced significantly less fade and no warping, where as the 2 previous sets of off brand rotors warped pretty significantly after a single HPDE weekend.
To each his own, use what works for you :dunno:

Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.
