Before you spend any money replacing your front rotors, try bedding the brakes to see if the judder problem goes away. See:

The rotors are not warped. You simply have a thickness variation caused by uneven deposits of pad materials. If it hasn't been giving you problems for long, there's a good chance the bedding process will reduce or eliminate the brake judder you're now experiencing. Make sure, of course, that you have enough front pad material left to do a bedding session without getting all the way down the the pads' steel backing plates.
