We transplant and move 30-40 peony plants ever year but most of our experience is in moving them later in the season as opposed to earlier.  One thought though for early moves...reduce the foliage just prior to the move.  The result will be less conversion to energy stores for overwintering but more imporant you'll bring the potential loss of roots more into balance with the foliage that remains resulting is less transpiration.
