Aspect of Lolth upgrade and such

I am wondering if I can use Aspect of Lolth as an opponent in my ongoing campaign. But the aspect in Miniatures Handbook and D&D Miniatures are just CR 11 Monster with 14 HDs. She is not strong enough for a party of 15th-16 level PC party.

I can just add some more Outsider HDs but That does not seem to improve her combat capability much. Then, I have considered some Cleric Levels to her. But to be effective as an opponent to such a high level party, I would at least add 10+ cleric levels. If I treat the Cleric levels as her non-associated class levels, that will keep her within acceptable CR. But the total HDs will become too high for a Drow Cleric to call her via Planar Ally spells. Even the Greater Planar ally has HD 18 cap.

Also, the miniature I have is the one from D&D Miniatures made by WotC. It has a whip. And RPG stats of the card suggests that the whip is her main weapon. But .... doesn't whip only inflicts non-lethal damages against armored foe? I am wondering if it is fair to treat her whip is simply special and different from ordinal whips, or else.

Hmm ... I tried to add 4 Ur-Priest levels to the Aspect of Lolth (18HDs in total) and found that is not much an upgrade. The main problem is that her caster level is only 4 (8 with Practiced Spellcaster feat). She cannot beat Drow lackeys' SR and thus cannot buff or cure them.
