You're more or less correct; generally speaking, slotted/dimpled rotors are a waste of money. Better bang for buck is a blank rotor with the extra money spent on tires and pads.
The dimpled/slotted rotor should give better response on wet conditions and reduce fading when brake pads are getting really hot.

Flat surface in normal condition are better because more square inches surface to the brakes pad (no dimples, no slots).

So both setups have pros and cons. No light without shade.
