+ risk of being locked in if your preferred provider changes,
The contract is transferable, so if Nectome becomes successful (many patients in the future) you presumably should be able to recover a large fraction of the contract value at that time.
(Obviously if the procedure becomes cheap then you won’t recover as much, but that’s inherent to the “pay far in advance for a discount on current prices” bet, regardless of your provider preferences changing.)
