Maglev is the new monorail. As you point out, though, it's hampered by small-scale implementation being a bad proof-of-concept.
Building these projects, though, particularly in rail-friendly territory, will either result in more interest and innovation in maglev, or will clearly show it as a momentary curiosity. Better there than here, where guaranteed failure would just help people write off rail in general.
