Default 2 Different Rotor Brands on Front Wheels??

I have an 07 es350 ul. Bought centric pro act front rotors off of rock auto and assumed they were sold in pairs...also bought akenenbo pads...took the car to the mechanic and found out rotors are sold as a single and not a pair...so mechanic put one centric rotor on the front and one wagner rotor...he stated the wagner was the top of the line and better than centric...question is will i have a problem with 2 different brands of rotors on the front until i can replace one?? Which one should i replace??? Thanx!!!

I mean, so long as one isn't slotted/drilled and they other is isn't it shouldn't be a huge issue. Only difference I can think of is they won't look the same if one is coated, and the other is not.

"Coated" rotors just have an anti-rust coating at ventilating edges, and the face of the hub (iirc).
IMHO - If you don't feel the difference in braking, there isn't a difference.
?? Did they charge more for the "Wagner" rotors ??
