New Brembo blanks: to turn or not to turn?

To this day I've never turned/cut a new rotor before installing it. Some people I speak to recommend turning it first so I'm now second guessing. Can I rely on my new Brembo blanks being "true" from the factory or do I really need to worry about them being shipped warped new?

I installed the Brembo rotors 3 weeks ago. They are fine straight out of the box. But, be sure to bed the pads. Read here for more about that: Proper Bedding of Brake Pads
