Please help me understand.
If a family is RWMO in the US, would they likely transition to Chardal in Israel?

As a stereotypic example- an American boy who learns in Kerem B'Yavne for a year or two, goes to YU, marries a Stern girl, works in computers, prioritizes limud Torah, careful with halacha and is close with his rebbeim.

Do they typically exchange the velvet yarmulka and black hat for a kipa sruga? What differences would they encounter in practice and culture? What are communities (both culturally Israeli and Anglo) where this type of family tends to settle? Is the generation gap between these American RWMO olim parents and their kids any different than other olim?

They definitely sometimes join a torani/chardal community. I personally think it's the best fit and most similar hashkaficly. There are yishuvim in Yehuda vshomron that are usually more Israeli and all torani but in a lot of cities there are torani/chardal communities and schools (like Moriah school in RBS)
