There are a few that will do OK with less - look for the more intermediate growing types with more succulent leaves. Stay far away from cold growers, or anything with thin, pleated-looking leaves.
I have done fairly well on eBay getting plants for less than Andy's or J&L sell 'em for. SOME of the plants are really quite nice. That is not to say that you wouldn't do well buying from J&L or Andy's, but you ARE going to kill a few of these babies while learning how to grow them on a 'sill so getting them cheap at first is a good idea.
Let us know how you do in about 6-8 months (once the heating season is well underway).

I definitely second this. Dracs grow in nature in very wet, humid situations. Some are low light, some higher light, but all have one thing in common - lots of air movement (constant) and wet - guess that's two things
