George Graham was one of the top call studio players in Los Angeles for many years and played killer double Cs on a 7C mouthpiece with a slightly modified rim.

Work on sounding great and your range will increase with practice.

You should be able to play the same range on pretty much any mouthpiece. The choice of mouthpiece will affect your endurance and tone more than anything.

BTW, a 1 1/2C is almost never used by anybody for a "fat lead sound". It's most often used for orchestral playing (and yes, I know Byron Stripling plays a 1).
