That's it, really - or should I wait a bit longer? What's the best time?

I would give them a Mini prune, but generally its best done in March. Well,
thats what I've always been led to believe, and mine are very healthy for
it.

Hmmmm I've always hard pruned as soon as flowers are going
crispy,(done several this year already).
Had no problems so far.

I cut them back now to about 4 foot to reduce any windrock in the winter, but prune hard back in March.
