1/16th' rim okay for rotor reuse? 900

I'm getting around to doing the front disk brakes on my 1995 940 Turbo, and am curious if the rotors need replacing also.

There's a very slight 1/16th" rim on the edge, that the present brakes have worn out. I read in the FAQ that there are specific measurements to qualify for replacement rotors, but I don't have any fancy measuring devices. I also thought I read somewhere that the 95 940 had heavier rotors or something.

So my question would be, is a 1/16th" rim acceptable or would it be smarter to just replace the rotors while I'm at it? The IPD catalogue mentions something about how new rotors might be needed with every brake change.
