Those 2 parameters do completely different actions. -dpi-device tells the system that it's running on a device running a low/medium/high density screen. This has an impact on which resources is being used when running the application. (see http://d.android.com/guide/topics/resources/resources-i18n.html#AlternateResources)
-scale <value>dpi will scale the emulator so that it emulate the screen real size. By the way, this actually use the value of -dpi-device (default is medium=160) to compute the scaling factor. For instance if you pass -scale 80dpi it'll display the emulator half as big.
