If you look at the specs for the RSL 29 it should quickly become apparent as to why I recommended them. Not all endurance pads are created equally and a quick look at the friction vs. temp graph shows that it maintains relatively the same coefficient of friction from cold all the way to 700+ C.
They are certainly NOT designed for sustained high-temp use. Ironically, contrary to what you claimed, performance actually begins to fall off right around the 500 C mark, and continues to decrease as temp increases.

IMO these are an excellent pad for someone starting out as you get relatively consistent performance across the temp range, allowing the driver to focus on fundamentals, car inputs, and the line.
