Default cutting back peonies?

Hi everyone,

In Chicago, the peonies looked great this year due to a long wet
spring. Mine bloom, then I generally cut the foliage down about halfway
to highlight other perennials in my little garden patch. Anyone cut
them down all the way in late summer? I'd like to give the mums and
black-eyed susans better light sooner. Suggestions?
