Different baskets for espresso?

Dear coffee professionals. I've been thinking about serving single and double espressos. To many people, they are simply a different size. But I know they can produce a slightly different result depending on what you're looking for. 

 

Do many coffee bars keep one portafilter with a smaller basket? Also, do many double baskets allow smaller doses? or they they stop the tamper from going down that far? 

 

Thanks
