Not trying to stir things up, but your post is a bit deceiving. You compared a generic "Centric REAR" rotor to an OEM FRONT rotor. If you really want to compare the two, you should use the same rotors and same location.
Centric rears for a 2010 Cayman S, are $39.99 (per AutoAnything.com). I switched over to a Cayman S, and haven't found maintenance items to be too much more expensive.
I was supercharged (in my FR-S), and the more frequent oil changes, more costly rotors and pads, etc... were more expensive than maintenance on my Cayman.
I guess my point is, is that the added costs due to supercharging, really isn't too much different than owning a Cayman.
