Yep, that's pretty much the guts of it. But (at least from my point of view, and not just trying to defend the A1RM here) the A1RM is cheap enough, that even if you went through rotors twice as quick, you're pretty much at the same level as having to buy a $300 race pad from one brand, and a $100 street pad from another, and you haven't had to worry about changing pads between street/track, or their compatibility between compounds...

From peoples comments it seems that the A1RM wears rotors nearly as bad as a dedicated track pad but with lower performance.

I have not personally tried to A1RM but it seems everyone agrees those pads are aggressive on rotors for daily driving. You often compare them to DS2500s which are more expensive. When comparing the two we should note that the DS2500s are very friendly on rotors, by this I mean there is no way you would wear out a set of rotors in 20,000kms from daily driving with a bit of track work.

So fair enough the A1RM is cheaper but if used as a crossover pad as you suggest but will probably end up costing you the same or more as using DS2500s due to rotor replacement costs. On the other hand they sound like a reasonable track only pad for their low price.
