The attack periscope has a blind spot i.e. immediately above the u-boat. The observation scope largly covers this blind spot and is therefore better at spotting approaching aircraft. I gathered this information from a book I am reading at the moment 'U333 The Story of a U-boat Ace' by Peter Cremer.
