I don't think you'd have any issues with safety with the cheaper ones.
I think the biggest thing is comfort. I had ones very similar to the ones you linked and I just couldn't get comfortable on them, though YMMV.
I got a bike fitting and he recommended these:

Even though they're much more expensive, they were much more usable for me because I could settle into a comfortable position.
As others have mentioned since the distance is short the benefit is debatable. I'd also check out the course profile. If you have a lot of climbing to do or very windy sections, you might not have enough time in the aero position to make it worth it.
