Ha, I definitely wouldn't mind if they replaced the pads while they were at it. From the conversation I had with Audeze support, they replace both drivers to ensure proper matching between them (which makes sense to me), so I'm guessing that's the same between all of the LCD lineup. For driver repair, I was quoted $500 and took it because I'm an idiot and I missed listening to them. That might just be the new price they're trying to push onto people, and since I bought the LCD-X used I just kinda took it as a karmaic delayed payment for full price.
