In my limited experience of being involved the Reformed communities I have noticed several things. There seems to be tension amoung the more strongly confessional groups (Dutch Reformed, OPC, and true Reformed Baptists) and more mondern day calvinists who are confessional but are more open to disagreement (T4G types, PCA, Founder's movement, Sovereign Grace, ect...). Both are apart of the Reformed tradition but there are differences on cultural mentalities. I do think this is especially true in America and is growing in the UK and Australia. In America, in calvinistic evancelicism, there is the new groups and the old fundamentalist groups. There is friendly tension. We see this here on the board. I think the PCA is struggling with direction it want to be in. They don't want to be too much like the Sovereign grace people, they don't want to become the OPC, but they are afraid deathly (and rightly so) of returning to the PCUSA and becoming like them (even though there is no evidence so far of this by God's grace).
