Locks in the handles cannot and should not be a protection against prying open, but an addition: securing only the closed window against prying open, but not the tilted window against full opening, would be only half a solution. A balcony door can be quietly "extended" to the handle lever with a glass cutter to prevent reaching through; kicking in makes the noise the burglar wants to avoid. The time for the burglar runs out from the moment he is noticed.
Per sash, the replacement should remain in the double-digit range; for labor, I would estimate half an hour. I cannot give exact prices; only that it is still very much in demand for aluminum, even for older windows. For plastic, your windows are still in very good condition. So in my opinion, it would be a worthwhile operation.
