Well, four more points, because you could also drive under after you place the ball. (or push the ball under, drive under, and put it up for 6 more points!)

But I think the real advantage to the placing the ball at the end is that you can do it on either overpass (correct me if I'm wrong...). So if you are stuck on the wrong side of the field and need a quick 12 points to win the match, placing the ball up is the way to go.
