I'm a little unclear on the benefit here. Say I have a hard problem and want to spend say $15 million for one machine, and further say that my problem might be suitable for a quantum algorithm, and further say I'm okay restocking all the exotic cryogenics etc.
At that price, I could buy at least 15,000 boring old machines using a boring distributed algorithm.

Is that quantum algorithm really worth it?
